This is the day the Lord has made. A butterfly floats through the sun and the shade, while dragonflies flit past the flowers and trees and grasshoppers hop in the soft morning breeze. The World Is Awake, A celebration of everyday blessings, written by Emmy Award winner and ABC News correspondent

Linsey Davis with Joseph Bottum, is a lyrical, rhyming story for young children intended to make them feel safe and joyful, cradled in the hands of God.

ABC news correspondent Linsey Davis joins forces with co-author Joseph Bottum and illustrator Lucy Fleming in this rhyming picture-book celebration of God's creation. The text describes all of the everyday blessings of the natural world, from the sunrise to the trees - not to mention all of the

animals - while the artwork depicts a happy African-American family enjoying and giving thanks for those blessings...

Published by ZonderKidz, the children's imprint of Christian publisher Zondervan, The World Is Awake: A Celebration of Everyday Blessings is a non-denominational picture-book offering a celebration of the natural world from a religious perspective. The rhyming text here reads very well, is positive and upbeat, and is well-matched by the colorful and appealing artwork.

I am excited to share a new board book with my granddaughter this weekend. The World Is Awake by Linsey Davis is a colorful, rhyming story for the toddler set. Inspired by scripture, it takes a pair of siblings through a day full of wonder. God’s creation is enthusiastically explored in all its

diversity. I think my granddaughter is going to love all that she can see and hear as we read this book together. Entertaining and instructional — a win-win! Highly recommended!
