A lovely overview for young children about the basis of Christianity. The artwork is beautiful and engaging.

Thank you NetGalley! This is a beautiful book describing God to children. The illustrations are amazing and I loved the incorporation of God’s power with the blue waves. You will want to read this to your littles.

“God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them, male female he created them.” Gen 1:27

The Glorious Image of God written by Rousseaux Brasseur, is a beautifully illustrated picture book that helps explain an important truth from the Bible. Getting children to understand how they are created in Gods image can be a tough concept for littles to grasp. In this story, a teacher gives the students a memory verse, and she goes on to explain it by using an example of a mirror. It’s full of bright and colorful illustrations to keep the Childs attention. It also uses modern day scenes to help it be relatable and teaches how Jesus can reveal this truth. I thought the author and illustrator did an excellent job sharing this lesson. Perfect for young ones bedtime, church classroom setting, read aloud or Sunday school. Would recommend.

This book has beautiful illustrations and is a wonderful telling of the story of God's plan for people.

This book, The Glorious Image of God, is a delightful book geared for young people with a message for all people. The message of God’s Word that says every person - no matter what they look like, sound like, or are able to do - is made to be an image bearer of God. Each one of us is created in His image! What a beautiful and comforting thought! So often we judge others or ourselves unfairly. But God made each of us to shine our Light for Him all over the world. This story not only teaches that valuable truth, but it also walks the reader through the salvation story starting with God creating the world. The illustrations are beautifully done and would be appealing to children. The text is poetic, but still easy for young people to understand. God’s Truth is clearly presented. I highly recommend this book!

This is a much needed message for kids - you are made in the image of God and, because of that truth, you have inherent worth. I also appreciate the Gospel message clearly weaved throughout the book and how that impacts our lives as image bearers. The rhyme scheme is lovely and the images are beautiful. I also appreciate the diversity in the people represented in the illustrations.

This book teaches children how all creation--and especially mankind--is made in God's image. It also recaps the stories of creation AND salvation (Jesus' death and resurrection) through thoughtful storytelling and beautiful illustrations.

I would recommend it for families with children ages 4 to 8 years.

The Glorious Image of God will be published November 4, 2025.
