Let There Be Light

Dazzlingly beautiful! The story of the beginning of God's creation is filled with creatures, butterflies, globes of light, sunrises, a sky of beautiful blue, exquisite waves of turquoise blue, capped by pure white.

And to quote the author "Now God decided to make the world even more dazzling with tall trees and grass.." The sky is filled with sun and moon, and then the stars appear in the sky in the form of beautiful creatures. The fifth day brings birds both large and small, red and white, as birdsong is heard throughout the earth.

And, my favorite page contains green grass with a plethora of giraffes and elephants, both large and small. The mice lie down with the majestic lion , and the white tiger is surrounded with lovely multicolored show more butterflies.

And then there are children who wear sparkling gold crowns and brightly colored saris. By their side are small tigers, elephants, cubs and giraffes.

God is represented as a child who rides a white swan, and an otter with a lovely red bird as all around is filled with breathtaking blue with red poppy flowers. This is an incredible book. show less

“In the very beginning, God’s love bubbled over when there was nothing else―no trees, no birds, no animals, no sky, no sea―only darkness.” This retelling of the biblical story of creation vividly portrays the wonder and beauty of God’s creation on each of the seven days.

Let There Be Light is a beautifully illustrated board book that tells the story of God’s Creation. The text is written by Desmond Tutu and is easily understood by children. The illusrations are filled with movement and unique and delightful images including exotic animals, children from around the world, and, if you look closely enough, the light of the Creator. Let There Be Light is a great book to introduce your toddler to the Creator and His Creation.

Recommended.
