Sun and Moon: A Conversation about God

Some of the most important conversations we have with our children begin with the simplest questions: Who is God? How do we know Him? Nelly Elmenshawy takes that question and gives it to two friends, Sun and Moon, to work out together in this gentle story for young readers.

The book follows Sun and Moon as they spend their days talking about God, with Sun answering Moon's many questions. The heart of the story rests on the idea that we come to know God through His Attributes — that each one opens a small window onto His endless knowledge, and that this knowledge is what plants love for Him in a child's heart. When an old friend visits, Sun and Moon discover something magnificent together.

It's a story well suited to reading aloud, a starting point for the kinds of questions children ask that parents don't always know how to begin answering. It belongs on the shelf of any family looking to introduce the youngest among us to the knowledge of God with warmth and care.
