ECPA bestseller
"The book opens with two young black girls with hair in cornrows, a
rambunctious mutt, and a playful cat engrossed in creative indoor
play. The rhyming text seems to draw the girls outside as sunshine
spills through their large window. “Dance in the grass. / Go
climbing in trees. / Build castles with sand. / Face the wind; feel
its breeze.” Ebullient illustrations in Catrow’s signature style
depict the two girls and their pets as they frolic and explore in
their own backyard and beyond, employing chiaroscuro with often
dramatic effect. Throughout, both pictures and text revel in God’s
creation, light in particular and its glowing presence in the sun,
moon, and stars as well as within the children themselves...A
life-affirming exploration of the common grace of creation and
appreciation of the miraculous in every day." -Kirkus
Reviews

Filled with fanciful and bold illustrations, it makes me smile
every time I read it. Your kids will, too!”
