Inspired by a note written by my youngest son, If the World Was Without Color celebrates the many colors of God's creations—colors we often overlook or take for granted. Ian’s profound words simply read: “Thank God for making people with colors… because without colors the world would be blank, like paper.” This book expands upon his heartfelt observation through poetic language and vivid illustrations that honor the beauty and vibrancy of the world around us, including the rich diversity reflected in our own skin tones. Another special feature of If the World Was Without Color is the inclusion of writing and conversation prompts designed to spark meaningful dialogue between you and your child. Children are encouraged to write their own poem about colors, draw and identify the colors they see in their surroundings, and engage in thoughtful discussions that deepen their understanding and appreciation of God’s colorful world.
