Our Review

This vibrant picture book makes the ancient words of Psalm 118:24 accessible and immediate for the youngest readers, transforming a biblical verse into a relatable celebration of daily life. Author Karma Wilson uses her signature rhyming cadence to walk children through a day filled with simple, joyful moments, from breakfast to bedtime. The text connects scripture directly to a child's own experiences, showing how the day the Lord has made is filled with opportunities for gratitude and wonder. It successfully bridges the gap between spiritual teaching and a preschooler's concrete world.

What sets this book apart is its focus on finding joy in the ordinary, making it a powerful tool for parents and educators seeking to instill a positive, faith-based perspective. The rhythmic, easy-to-memorize lines create natural teachable moments for discussing thankfulness and God's presence in everyday routines. As a Moonbeam Award winner, it delivers its message with a warmth and clarity that resonates deeply with its target audience. This is the kind of book that can become a cherished part of a family's daily rhythm, gently shaping how a child sees the world.
