Brief description: Chris Saunders is an award-winning illustrator who loves to tell a story. He studied illustration at the University of Northampton and did work for creative design and print companies before moving into children's books. Chris likes to create gentle, floating, atmospheric imagery and mainly works digitally, but his pencils and watercolors are never too far away.
Review Quotes: In simple, lilting language, pastor and author Warren (The Purpose Driven Life) describes God's love in comparative terms ("Deeper than all the oceans/ Higher than the moon and the stars") and as something beyond comparison ("God's great love for you is... perfect. / And everywhere/ And will never end"). It's a lot to wrap one's head around, so British illustrator Saunders introduces a wide-eyed, pug-nosed girl as a surrogate and guide. She wears a red dress with a long ribbon that unfurls behind her---a kind of spiritual contrail as she travels the world. Her only companion for most of the book is a plump white dove, but she's never lonely or afraid, having been assured that she is one of God's creations and that "he loves you with a great big unstoppable love." Warren's name will undoubtedly attract interest; the nondenominational, monotheistic language offers broad appeal; and there are some striking images, such as an ant's-eye view of the girl in a hot-air balloon soaring above. But for the most part, the book is more pleasant than revelatory.--Publishers Weekly
