Synopsis
Katrina wants to know more about God: Mama, what does God wear? Does God like to paint? Does God ever cry, Papa? Her parents responses, based on the Psalms, help Katrina to know God in ways that are very real to her. / Poetic text and bright impressionistic illustrations combine beautifully to make this a gentle and affirming picture book that will encourage a childs exploration of God. Ideal for reading aloud.
