About This Book

Our Review

This vibrant picture book brings Psalm 100:1 to life for a new generation, transforming the biblical call to "make a joyful noise" into a tangible, active experience for young children. Karma Wilson's signature rhythmic text invites little ones to explore the many ways they can create their own joyful sounds, from clapping hands and stomping feet to singing out loud. The book serves as a wonderful introduction to scripture for preschoolers, making the concept of praise both accessible and engaging through concrete, participatory actions.

Wilson's masterful use of language and playful energy makes this spiritual concept feel immediate and fun, rather than abstract or solemn. This read-aloud is particularly well-suited for faith-based families, Sunday school settings, or any caregiver looking to introduce foundational biblical principles in a developmentally appropriate way. The book ultimately empowers children to see worship as a natural, bodily expression of joy, leaving them with a lasting and positive connection to spiritual practice.
