The World Is Awake

This is the day the Lord has made.

A butterfly floats through the sun and the shade,

while dragonflies flit past the flowers and trees

and grasshoppers hop in the soft morning breeze.

The World Is Awake, A Celebration of Everyday Blessings, written by Emmy Award winner and ABC News correspondent Linsey Davis with Joseph Bottum, is a lyrical, rhyming story for young children intended to make them feel safe and joyful, cradled in the hands of God. Paired with bright and engaging illustrations by Lucy Fleming, this book inspires children to be thankful for all of God’s blessings that surround us in our daily lives. From the nature in our own backyard to the animals at the zoo, The World Is Awake is a celebration of God’s wonderful world.
