**My thoughts**

This book is perfect for any church nursery or Sunday School program. The rhyming narrative is about the young girl talking about all of her wonderful features that God made for her, all leading up to a paraphrasing of Psalm 139:14. It's a lovely message for young children being brought up in the Christian faith.

My favorite part of this book is the adorable illustrations. It is of a supremely happy multiracial family that you can tell absolutely adores each other and just has a lot of fun in their lives. You cannot help but feel happy when looking at their pictures, which just really complements this book.

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

'My God is Awesome!' by Kyla and Monique McKenzie

Blurb:

Kyla McKenzie, age 5, is the coauthor along with her mother, Monique McKenzie, of the newly released children's picture book, My God is Awesome! The great work illustrates the wondrous creations of God through the eyes of five-year-old Kyla. Through breathtaking watercolor hand-paintings by world-renowned illustrator Dr. Jan Spivey Gilchrist and emotive text authored by the mother-daughter team, children and adults are reminded that God’s awesomeness should be appreciated and respected in life’s most simple pleasures.

This work is important because:

• The book was showcased at the American Library Association Conference in Las Vegas, NV this past June.
• Kyla is one of the youngest published authors on record.
• The book is inspirational for children and adults.
• We were intentional in selecting children of all nationalities and backgrounds as models.
• The artwork by Hall-of-Famer Jan Spivey Gilchrist is awesome!

Available in ebook and paperback!
