Where Does God Live?
"Where does the sun go? Why does it rain? Why don't snowflakes all look the same?" These are some of the questions that a lively and inquisitive young girl named Hope dreams up. Her favorite pastime is asking questions — and she's good at it! She asks everyone she knows just about anything. One day her musings lead her to a really big Where does God live? She talks to her mom. She questions her animal friends. Finally, it is her wise and gentle grandmother whose lifetime of faith offers Hope, the answer that she and all of us can take into our hearts. It is an answer whose simplicity does honor to the Creator.

This was ready at our Sunday Unitarian Universalist service during the story time for all ages. It really captures the question and exploring of the young girl and does not gender God in the answer. It opens up the mystery and allows wonder and an appreciation for nature and people. Pretty illustrations by a local, bay area author.

Genre: Religious picture book
Awards: none
Audience: 3-10 year olds
A. This book answers the question, "where God lives?" through the curiosity of a little girl.
B. The book uses texture in a unique and fun way. For example on the page where the girl is by the river. The fish is drawn with a particular texture. The water also uses texture to show that it is moving. The texture is important because it is used as a focal point of the specific picture. Wherever the texture is shown is where the focus of that picture's illustration should be.
C. I would use this book in an individual or group setting. This is a good book to use when a child begins to ask question about religion and God because it is basic and is simple in its explanation.
D. Where does the grandma say God lives? She says God lives in everything we see, hear, and touch.
