Description

Explaining who God is can be really hard, especially for grown-ups. They like to use confusing words like "Trinity," "outside of time," and "everywhere all at once." What's a kid to do if they can't explain God? Maybe it's not such a problem after all. The little girl in this story realizes there are so many things in the world that are hard to explain, but not hard to accept. Like how people speak in many languages; how the sun is a color, a feeling, and also light; and how people in her family have different names for each other. So what if you can't explain God? What matters is that God loves you--and that's not confusing at all!

In this new picture book by the author of Maybe God Is Like That Too, children will learn that accepting a bit of mystery is part of what it means to have faith.

Born in small town Malacca, Malaysia, Hsulynn grew up with 3 brothers and enjoyed much of her childhood chasing after locusts and butterflies in her backyard, digging for earthworms and collecting seashells from the beach nearby. This is quite possibly why she finds herself painting lots of nature inspired art works rather than big tall buildings.
