I recently crossed paths with this splendid picture book written by Gayle E. Pitman, illustrated by Laure Fournier, and published by Albert Whitman & Company (May 2018). Available at your local bookstore or via amazon.

With its eye-catching artwork and lyrical flow of words, this book can help set the upbeat tone for all of us to “turn to, not on” each other. It’s a meaningful book for children, their parents, and their Sunday School teachers. Why? “Because God created diversity.”

I fell in love with this book at first glance. It’s fun to flip through the pages and find an image that resembles your own loved ones. Yes, images include people wearing sunshine yellow clothes (my favorite to color-coordinate with my own book cover).
