Let There Be Light

Earlier this week, I began thinking about the importance of a children’s picture book of the creation story, and so I started writing down thoughts of poetry and the perfect mind of Love and the potential for exquisite artwork wrought of color and light to show the beauty and diversity inherent in all the wonders God creates. And then the book arrived from BookSneeze – even lovelier and more poetic than anything I’d envisioned.

That’s not surprising, of course, as the loving man, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and the highly gifted artist, Nancy Tillman, joined talents in giving us the creation story, Let There Be Light.

Each page bursts with color, light, and love, ending those first days in time with this timeless word:

“God looked at everything that he had made and clapped his hands together in delight. ‘Isn’t it wonderful!’ “

Yes, it is!
