Handfuls of Soil (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781662845956)

Handfuls of Soil by Bessie T. Wilkerson celebrates God's creation of the world, focusing on how He made us with care and love and appreciating His handiwork. It also teaches young readers about God as our Creator, discussing different things He made and that He is a good Provider-for example, He summoned handfuls of soil to make the buds and the seeds, which in turn feeds the birds and the bees. This is an important message to teach children, especially in today's society where God creating the world is not often taught. This book celebrates the diversity of people that God made, mentioning God using handfuls of soil to create brown hands and brown girls and boys. It is important for children to see themselves in books and to see others who are different from them, so including diversity is beneficial to all readers.
