As young readers, ages 0-4, listen to the rhyme and see the diverse illustrations, they will better understand how God reveals His love to us through our relationships with one another. With Scriptures woven throughout every image, both mother and child will be encouraged to worship the God whose love lasts forever! About the AuthorAshley Huffstutler and her husband, David, have two children and live in Birmingham, Alabama.
