In this instructive, worshipful picture book, author Tina Cho welcomes young children—little astronomers—to enter a rocket ship and “take a trip into outer space, high above the mountains, clouds, and sky. Out the window, you will see the wonders God has made.”
Cho combines scientific facts about galaxies, planets, stars, the sun and moon, comets, meteoroids, Earth, and more with biblical texts glorifying God as the creator and sustainer of all. She also assures children of God’s majestic design for their lives. Praise and celebration leap off each page as Cho exclaims at God’s marvels, creativity, power, goodness, love, protection, order, and care for his creation.
Cho concludes by encouraging children to adopt a posture of thanks as they contemplate God’s creation: “Our heavenly Father expertly designed the universe. The same God who created massive planets, sun, stars, and moon made you. Thank Him for creating this beautiful world for you to enjoy. God displays His goodness and love for you in His extravagant creation.”
Artist Marta Alvarez Miguens’s illustrations capture the joy of children engaging with God’s world and offer informative, detailed glimpses into God’s marvelous creation.
Reverential and educational, God’s Little Astronomer could serve as a family’s devotional material around the supper table or at bedtime. (WaterBrook)
