In this charming and spirited retelling of Psalm 100:1 from celebrated children's author Karma Wilson, youngsters observe a child discovering the fun and sheer joy of praising God. From birds singing and the church bells ringing to the lively worship service itself---where folks sing, clap, and shout, Hallelujah!---all creation seems to be joining together to celebrate God's goodness in this full-color picture book. Composed entirely in delightful add-on verse, each page builds on the one before, adding ding dongs to tweet-a-tweets and hums to taps to claps, until the entire congregation shouts, 'Let's make a joyful noise to the Lord!' Even the quiet prayer, we learn, is a joyful noise. Prereaders will love helping with sound effects while early readers will be amused by each deft rhyme in this satisfying and entertaining book for kids ages four to eight.
I'm a wife, mother of three, writer and photographer. I love to write fun stories, poems, songs, etc... I especially love to write in rhyme because I think that well written rhyme naturally teaches children to expand their vocabulary and love books and reading.
I spend my time in the wilds of northwest Montana, where there are lots of bears and animals like the ones in my bear books! I love the wilderness and all of the animals that live there. My husband and children are also avid lovers of the outdoors.
I am also an amateur photographer. Give me a camera and I'll spend hours snapping photos.
