Any good picture books about God as Love?

Question

I'm looking for good picture books about God that are not promoting any one religion. Holly Bea - has a few great ones. ("Where Does God Live" and "Goodnight, God") Does anybody know of any others?

Answer 1

I would suggeset two books.

You might try a couple of DK books--there are two that come to mind right away: ''Children Just Like Me,'' and ''Children Just Like Me: Celebrations.'' The first one is more secular, but it's a nice, very visual way to show children what children look like in other parts of the world, how they dress, what they eat, what they play with. The second book introduces some of the major celebrations in other cultures and religions,

including Chinese New Year, Purim in Jewish communities, Holi in India, Eid ul-Fitr that ends Ramadan in Muslim communities, and Epiphany in Christian communities.

A few other picture books:

Does God Ever Sleep? by Joan Sauro

God Gave Us You  by Lisa Tawn Bergren - very sweet book perfect for bedtime.
