Description:
Learn about colors and God's love in this picture book celebration of spring, with lyrical text by an award-winning author and gorgeous art from a #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator.
On a bright spring day, WHITE Queen Anne's lace waves in the breeze. BLUE bellflowers bask in the sun. Hummingbirds dive down into RED poppies, and a ladybug hurries down the fronds of a GREEN fern. Don't trip on that PINK primrose peeking through the cracks! Consider these flowers of the field--they live and grow just where they are supposed to be. Maybe God knows how to take care of us, too.
Inspired by the timeless words of Luke 12 and Matthew 6, the second book in the Consider series invites children to discover colors in nature, the beauty of flowers in bloom, and the love of God. Jennifer Grant's simple text and Julianna Swaney's endearing art will encourage readers to slow down and marvel at the amazing world around them. A perfect read aloud for the spring and Easter seasons.
Brief description:
Jennifer Grant is an award-winning author of books for children and adults, including Consider the Birds, Consider the Lilies (both Eerdmans), and Maybe God Is Like That Too (Beaming). She lives in Chicago, where she enjoys exploring nature and reading about science--including astronomy! Learning about space both humbles Jennifer and fills her with awe, and she hopes this book will encourage families to discover new things outside after dark.

Review Quotes:
"Swaney's art is consistently elegant: simple and focused as flowers rise from the bottoms of pages, but also intentional and lovely, with layouts that invite prolonged contemplation. Any two-page spread could be hung in its own frame....Classy color practice from the natural world, with divine consideration."
