God gave me eyes to see, a heart to feel, a mind to ponder, and gifts and talents to share his stories in my own way.It's a beautiful message, beautifully presented. The writing is almost lyrical in its cadence and lends itself wonderfully to a read-aloud. And the illustrations by Eric Carlson are fun and inviting, yet not garish.

We don't have to be grownups to be storytellers. Remember how much Jesus loved sharing his stories with children?I am God's Storyteller is a celebration of each child's -- each person's -- God-given creativity and an encouragement to use that creativity to share the Good News with others. It's also an affirmation that each of us has unique talents, and all of those talents are valuable: writing, creating visual art, singing, dancing, inventing games, acting -- all of these ways of using the imagination can help us tell God's story.
