"In contrast to its title, this book about God for young children is joyful, with colorful abstract illustrations to convey the idea of loving omnipotence that the text imparts. As a child named Tamar asks questions about God, such as How does God know that I m sad? or So what does it mean to die? , her father answers them in a truthful, reverent, and gentle way. Translated from the Hebrew by Shirley Kaufman, the conversation between father and child affirms God s goodness, empathy, loving kindness, and generosity, while also confronting questions about death in a way that will give comfort to a young child. For preschool grade 2" -- Susan Berson, Denver, September / October 2007 Issue of the AJL (Association of Jewish Libraries) Newsletter.
