Book SynopsisCombining Biblical truths and scientific facts, The Things God Made is an inspirational and informative picture book retelling of the creation story from the book of Genesis.Take your child on a journey from nothingness to abundance and life, and discover the greatness of God’s creation through stunning art and incredible factual information about our amazing universe. The Things God Made captures God’s great joy as a creator and inspires curious kids to learn more about the wonderful world we live in and appreciate all the things God made.The Things God Made: Tells the creation story both from a Scriptural and scientific perspective Is perfect for ages 4-8 as well as anyone interested in how our world works Incorporates easy-to-understand educational call-outs with engaging, easy-to-read storytelling Allows for further discussion about both creation and the wonder of the natural worldTrade ReviewBlending the biblical narrative, science, and art, author and illustrator Andy McGuire portrays not only the majesty of God's creation, but also the beauty, delight, and love of the Creator for his handiwork. McGuire points to God who 'had an idea. He wanted there to be other things besides just himself.' And so God made the cosmos and all that dwells within it. McGuire masterfully narrates and illustrates the truth that 'nothing God made can live on its own--everything works together.' For example, McGuire writes, 'Birds need plants. Some parts they need to build their nests. And birds eat plant seeds. When birds eat them, they poop out some of the seeds, scattering them far and wide as they fly to distant lands. This helps plants spread to new places all around the world--part of God's plan.' McGuire's depiction of the creation of Adam and Eve is unique and authentic. In author notes, McGuire explains, 'Of course no one knows what Adam and Eve looked like, but I have given them skin color and features that defy easy categorization. Somehow Adam and Eve contained all the DNA of the human race, and they and their children were truly fruitful, spreading humanity to every corner of the globe.' Highly recommended to parents, caregivers, and teachers as a fresh, educational, and worshipful picture book to be savored again and again with young children. * The Banner *The story of creation is ubiquitous enough that one might wonder if we need yet another children's book on the topic. But wonder was, in fact, the word that came to mind as I read The Things God Made. Complemented beautifully by breathtaking artwork, the book has captured the staggering awe that the story of our fascinatingly intricate creation deserves. If we have lost our sense of wonder, McGuire aims to rekindle it. Brilliantly infusing expertise with humility, scientific fact with childlike joy, The Things God Made is a delight. I suspect it will lead readers--children and adults alike--one step beyond wonder and straight into worship. * Hannah C. Hall, 2024 Christianity Today Book Awards *

Book Synopsis A KID’S GUIDE TO THE OCEAN 'Can you imagine a world without fish? It's not as crazy as it sounds. But if we keep doing things the way we've been doing things, fish could become extinct within fifty years. So let's change the way we do things!'World Without Fish is the uniquely illustrated narrative nonfiction account—for kids—of what is happening to the world’s oceans and what they can do about it. Written by Mark Kurlansky, author of Cod, Salt, The Big Oyster, and many other books, World Without Fish has been praised as “urgent” (Publishers Weekly) and “a wonderfully fast-paced and engaging primer on the key questions surrounding fish and the sea” (Paul Greenberg, author of Four Fish). It has also been included in the New York State Expeditionary Learning English Language Arts Curriculum. Written by a master storyteller, World Without Fish connects all the dots—biology, economics, evolution, politics, climate, history, culture, food, and nutrition—in a way that kids can really understand. It describes how the fish we most commonly eat, including tuna, salmon, cod, swordfish—even anchovies— could disappear within fifty years, and the domino effect it would have: the oceans teeming with jellyfish and turning pinkish orange from algal blooms, the seabirds disappearing, then reptiles, then mammals. It describes the back-and-forth dynamic of fishermen, who are the original environmentalists, and scientists, who not that long ago considered fish an endless resource. It explains why fish farming is not the answer—and why sustainable fishing is, and how to help return the oceans to their natural ecological balance. Interwoven with the book is a twelve-page graphic novel. Each beautifully illustrated chapter opener links to the next to form a larger fictional story that perfectly complements the text.Trade Review“In his histories of cod and oysters, Mark Kurlansky described how those species once thrived in the wild, and how they were depleted. [World Without Fish] casts an even wider net and, with the help of superb illustrations and an interwoven graphic novel by Frank Stockton, creates a compelling narrative for young people.” —The New York Times * The New York Times *“In his histories of cod and oysters, Mark Kurlansky described how those species once thrived in the wild, and how they were depleted.
