"Kara Lawler's debut picture book, God, Right Here, is pure magnificence. The words and illustrations form a rich tapestry showcasing how our God is with us in each and every season. Children will delight in searching for all the ways they see God in the pages of this exquisitely illustrated picture book. Children and adults alike will be inspired to appreciate all the vibrant nature on display in each of our lives. This breathtaking book is a form of worship; we do thank God for creating such a beautiful world for us to reside in and for being with us in the here, now, and future! Bravo, Lawler and Poh; I'll be purchasing multiple copies to give as gifts."
Sarah Philpott, author of The Growing Season and Loved Baby
"What an exquisite illustration of God in nature, in the changing seasons, in our holy everywhere. Just yesterday, I laughed with my daughter as we squinched up our eyes and turned our faces to the sky, catching giant, fluffy snowflakes on our tongues. God's love for us is truly right here and everywhere! What a gift this book will be to all of us again and again—a triumph of words from Kara Lawler."
Mikala Albertson, family practice doctor and author of Ordinary on Purpose
"A beautiful reminder for kids—and adults!—that God can be found all around us, every day, in nature and in the simple joys of life. Taking kids through all the four seasons and the unique beauty they each bring, Kara Lawler reminds us that God is always close by, and beautiful changes are just on the horizon. God, Right Here is a sweet reminder to kids and their parents to slow down, notice God's goodness, and take time to celebrate his beautiful creation each and every day."
Katie Schnack, author of Everything Is (Not) Fine: Finding Strength When Life Gets Annoyingly Difficult

The Book
God, right here.
God, right there.
God's handiwork is everywhere.
This is a delightful sweet book that kids will love. The inspiring message about the awesomeness of God's creation encourages kids to interact with the four seasons and discover the handiwork that God provides for their enjoyment.
The illustrations are beautiful and the illustrator includes a diverse array of characters even a child in a wheelchair which I really like. The inspiring text encourages kids to discover the wonderment of nature as it pertains to each unique season that God provides. This book will spark conversations about the presence of God that is all around us in the world. Share the book and celebrate God's goodness, creativity and omnipotance...everywhere! I love this charming book and I highly recommend it.
