This is our favorite book. It presents a reassuring and uplifting message to children with a thoughtful rhyme scheme. This book is longer than most board books, but I started reading this to my 6-month-old, who is now 8 months and she sat through the entire book every time. I have memorized this book, I have read it so many times. It's so easy to remember the melodic rhymes. If you read it with a good cadence you should finish in 3-4 minutes. I basically sing this book to my baby anytime she gets fussy and she calms right down. This book lead us to purchase other books by this author, but this is by far our favorite. "when god made light" is excellent as well.
Must buy!

I haven’t read it to my child yet and although I do think this book is too long for my 2 year old to probably sit through it is such a beautiful book! I got teary eyed while reading it and it’s definitely a book I’m going to start gifting to other parents
A really great story.

I bought for my nephew's first birthday, I got so choked up. This books stood out and decided to record myself reading the book. Also made the beginning pages of the book as a signature and message to have as a keepsake. From the words and reading, I felt motivated and reassured. Love love the book I reordered a copy for my children.
