Picasso's artistic inspiration takes hold of young Emma's faith imagination in this beautifully illustrated picture book about how we all see God differently.

Emma returns from a field trip to the art museum and is inspired to draw like Picasso. Emma wanted to draw something beyond spectacular and decides to draw GOD. Find out what happens when her classmates can't see GOD in any of her drawings until they find inspiration in her contagious faith.

This urge to draw something beyond spectacular would not leave my side. 'What should I draw?' I thought. I sat quietly, listening to my mind and heart. That's when I heard their whisper and I decided to draw God.

Emma tries again and again and again to draw God, but her classmates can't see God in any of her drawings. Emma finally realizes that she doesn't need their approval.

I knew I had drawn God. God knew I had drawn God, and maybe Picasso knew, too. That finally felt like enough.

But when Emma returns to school on the following Monday, something beyond spectacular happens.

Drawing God is a story for children to discover what inspires their very own faith imagination and to realize the contagious faith that lives powerfully within them.

My hope is that this story brings you continued joy and inspires children to share freely their gifts, their drawings, their light, their bread and their love of God with others. May Drawing God remind them that everyone sees God differently and help them better understand God's unconditional and endless love.
In friendship,

Children have questions and struggles just like adults, but rarely are they given the chance to voice their concerns and ask the big questions resting deep in their hearts. In Dear Pope Francis, Pope Francis gives them that chance and celebrates their spiritual depth by directly answering questions from children around the world. Some are fun. Some are serious. And some will quietly break your heart. But all of them are from children who deserve to know and feel God's unconditional love.

The Moon, the Stars, and Me is a gentle, beautifully illustrated bedtime story that invites children to marvel at God's creation's wonders and discover their special place within it. With soothing rhymes and enchanting watercolor artwork, this book takes young readers on a journey through the night sky, where the moon and stars share their stories of purpose and design.

The stars, like tiny beacons, act as a map in the night, guiding travelers across seas and lands with their constellations.

Through their example, children learn that they, too, are uniquely created by God with a special purpose, perfectly suited to who they are.

As the story winds down, it reassures young hearts that they are deeply loved and cherished by their Creator. With its calming message, The Moon, the Stars, and Me helps children drift to sleep feeling peaceful, valued, and inspired to embrace the unique role they play in God's beautiful design.
