Review of God's Big Plan by Elizabeth F. Caldwell and Theodore Hiebert


The world is full of so many different things: animals, plants, foods, languages, people. But it might not have been that way if it weren’t for God’s big plan . . .

This vibrant picture book illuminates a new understanding of the story of Babel in Genesis, revealing God’s plan for wonderful diversity throughout the world. God’s Big Plan includes a note for parents and educators.

God's Big Plan is a Junior Library Guild Selection.

**My thoughts**
I like the sentiment of this story, that we have so much diversity in this world because that is what God wanted and planned for. It's presented in a simple format that kids will be able to pay attention to and enjoy. The illustrations felt a little flat to me, but did convey people of a variety of colors, races, cultures, and abilities, thus demonstrating the truly wide variety of people we have on this earth. Bonus points to the book for acknowledging that people also observe different religions and may worship differently. I think that part was honestly my favorite.

Thank you to the publisher for fulfilling my review request via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
