laughter.

to understand the many ways God listens to us. Filled with
wisdom and love, How Does God
Listen? delights the senses and

is always listening. Using simple, everyday examples to which
children can relate, How Does God

How Does God Listen? teaches children—and the rest of
us—that God is everywhere, and that the world is full of
wonder.

told you that God is revealed through two texts—through
holy scripture, the Little Book, and through creation, the Big
Book? These precious pages, spare in words but rich in images,
will teach you and your children how to read the Big
Book.”
