The World Is Awake: A celebration of everyday blessings by Linsey Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A beautiful book that does a good job of expressing our religious values. There is a focus on the beauty of nature, the diversity of creation, gratitude for God's blessings, farmer's market, reading, and prayer. The only drawback is the exclusively masculine language for God, but you can correct that while reading it to your child.
I have found it very difficult to locate children's book with Christian stories that uphold the values of mainline Christianity as opposed to more evangelical versions (we've read more Jewish, Buddhist, and Muslim books to Sebastian), so this was a refreshing discovery.
