5.0 out of 5 stars Bittersweet and Poignant, December 19, 2006

By	T. Parmer - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Never thought you'd hear someone say that about a board book? Check this one out. This book is a great introduction to the concept of God for small ones. Rather than a man in the clouds or a grandpa-like buddy, God is presented in a poetic, pantheistic way. The illustrations are sweet too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book for little ones about God's immanance, January 9, 2007

By	B. Keeper (Keller, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Kushner's Where Is God is a wonderful introduction to the concept that God's presence infuses nature and all human exchanges and experiences. I actually prefer this board book to the full-size, older-children's book it is drawn from (Because Nothing Looks Like God), because the board book forces one to linger on the poetry of the text and the tenderness of the cropped illustrations. I get choked up almost every time I read this little book to my two-year-old son, simply because it is so simple and so true, and because I feel it expresses exactly my belief about God's immanance and the joys of being human here on earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple is best, August 10, 2005

By	Sharon McCommas (Woodland, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a great way to introduce preschoolers to the concept that God is everywhere. I bought the book to use as part of a children's sermon and will keep it to read to my grandchildren.
