Beschreibung

Black Authors Matter Children's Book Award "Dad smiled, 'We're all different because God is creative. Each one of us is God's unique work of art.'" A celebration of God's creativity and diverse design, Josey Johnson's Hair and the Holy Spirit takes young readers on a joyful, faith-filled adventure. Josey is spending the day with her dad, getting her hair braided at Monique's Beauty Shop and picking out a beautiful red dress for Sunday. Why? Because it's Pentecost—a day to celebrate! Along the way, she begins to wonder why people are so different from one another. Her dad explains that our differences are not a mistake; instead, they are part of God's wonderfully creative plan for the world. With its vibrant illustrations and heartwarming story, this book beautifully showcases the diversity of God's creation, inviting children and adults alike to celebrate the beauty all around them. Included is a special note to parents and caregivers, offering practical tips for discussing the themes of the book with children, making it a meaningful read for the entire family. Perfect for bedtime reading, Sunday school lessons, or family story time, Josey Johnson's Hair and the Holy Spirit captures the warmth of family and the joy of diversity.
