God's Paintbrush: 10th Anniversary Edition

A Guide for Jewish and Christian Educators and Parents

Children speak about God in ways that are different from adults. They ask many questions about God, questions that can be startlingly direct. Oftentimes adultsparents, grandparents, and teachersfeel uncomfortable answering them.

Through fantasy, involvement, and imagination, Sandy Sasso and Annette Compton invite children of all faiths and backgrounds to encounter God openly through moments in their own livesand help the adults who love them to be a part of that encounter. This book provides a gift of images that nurtures and encourages children in making meaning of their world.
