Praise
“Illustrating this verse adaptation of the biblical Creation story, Ransome intersperses paintings of natural wonders with scenes of an African American man reciting to an audience of rapt youngsters.”—Publishers Weekly
“Pictures of an African-American preacher and his rapt audience of children alternate with handsome full-bleed spreads depicting the six days of creation… Rhythmic friezes of animals adorn the text pages of this carefully structured, realistic presentation…Painted with real artistry and conviction.”—Kirkus Reviews
