What does it look like inside?
The book has an important message to each child: You are created by God.
I like the beautiful illustrations and the beautiful words (with rhyme and rhythm.) I think that God's amazing creation is well celebrated in this book.
The children at our church enjoyed the pictures and the message.
We have been purposely looking for books with more diverse characters. We appreciated this book for that reason.
Are there any drawbacks?
I was reading to a younger audience (aged 2-8) and found that some of the words were very tricky. As a book with few words and many pictures, it looks like a book for younger kids. However, in many cases there was a strong focus on beauty of language. This was good, but in some cases a much simpler word would have sufficed. Some of the younger kids lost attention since they couldn't understand what the book was about.
Where can it be purchased?
Most Christian or secular bookstores. In Canada, you can order online at https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/when-god-made-you/9781601429186-item.html?ikwid=when+god+made+you&ikwsec=Home&ikwidx=0 .
