God Loves Me More Than That, by Dandi Daley Mackall, is a beautifully illustrated rhyming book, prompting children to think of down-to-earth examples of ways God's love is greater than things on this earth. I absolutely loved this book. The examples given that answer the questions ("Is the Lord's love wide?" or "Just how deep is God's love for me?") are things that kids can relate to and get excited about. The illustrations by David Hohn are colorful but fairly muted, giving the book a gentle calming feel. They are engaging and can prompt good discussions with your little ones. One of my favorite parts in the book is how God's love is "much much softer than a kitten's sneeze". This book is one I read to my 11 month old, but one that preschoolers and young elementary children would enjoy as well. It would be a fun enrichment activity to find Scripture verses that illustrate the book's examples of the depths of God's love.
