"[Powers] is faithful to the original text and respectful of young readers, while the whimsical yet poignant illustrations breathe new life into a child’s encounter with ancient Scripture." — Lindsey Cornett, The Englewood Review of Books"All the stars in the galaxy. I give this book all the stars in the world...Children's books and stories have healing properties." — Lorraine Sithole“A beautiful reminder that every child is deeply known, deeply loved, and never alone. Rather than simply teaching Scripture, this book lets children feel the answer.” — Jed Doherty (Jedlie), Host, Reading With Your Kids PodcastA Certified Great Read — Reading With Your Kids
