Review Quotes

"Lawler encourages children to see that, as the seasons change, God is always holding their hands, and they are never alone. In fact, every aspect of creation--people, rain, sunshine, flowers, beaches, seashells, birds, dolphins, trees, leaves, snow, and more--are part of God's grand design. Children will learn that no matter how many changes they encounter in the natural world, 'God is still at work. / God, ever near.' "

"Parents and grandparents who want to celebrate God's gifts of beauty in creation will delight in reading God, Right Here by Kara Lawler aloud and examining Jennie Poh's exquisite drawings with their favorite little people. The book points to seasonal changes as evidence of God's sovereignty and a portal to witness his glory."

About the Author

Kara Lawler is the author of Everywhere Holy: Seeing Beauty, Remembering Your Identity, and Finding God Right Where You Are and A Letter for Every Mother, but she has wanted to publish a children's book since she was a little girl! As a contributor to several magazines and websites, some of her essays have been read and shared millions of times. Kara loves the outdoors, and she especially enjoys the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania where she lives with her husband, her two children, and their many dogs.

Jennie Poh fell in love with the countryside at a very young age, developing a deep connection to nature and conservation. As an illustrator, she still loves to connect with nature--namely through making her own paintbrushes and textures with leaves, bark, flowers, and anything else she may find while walking outside. She also enjoys using watercolor and inks, which make wonderful splatters and splodges on the page. Jennie lives with her two daughters and a mischievous marmalade cat.
