Are You There? by Dianne Fairchild

Illustrated by Vincent Fairchild...This is a wonderful children's book!  The art work is fantastic, and is very appealing to children.  (I tested with my 2).  The story is about a young boy pondering the existence of God.  He questions where God is, and if He will always be there, no matter where "there" is.  Will He be there when he grows or in the darkest night? He says "If I walked to the very edge of the world, stretched my arms as wide as I could, and peered over the vast side of life, would I reach You then?".   I love this question!   My 7 year old told me this is her new favorite book!  My 10 year old said he really likes the story, but said it was for younger kids.  So, the experts have spoken!  I agree with them.  This is truly a delightful book, and will remain on my bookshelf.
