Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
What colour is God? A large gathering and a calming rain leads a child to find the surprising answer in The Colour of Me. While learning the answer, the child discovers one of the greatest messages of all.
The Colour of Me is a beautifully illustrated children’s book that tells of the many colors of God’s creation and the goodness of the colors. McDunn delightfully describes the value of all colors as she recounts how God created the Earth and identifies the effects of creation. Children will relate to the concepts of colors and coloring in this story as they learn values of acceptance, appreciation, and respect for everything that God made. Perfect for parents and educators to read to children and for early readers to read themselves. For children ages four to eight.

The Colour of Me is a picturebook that deals with a powerful theological question: What colour is God? Amid a peaceful rain and a large gathering, a small child discovers the answer. God's creation and goodness embodies all people, all races, all colors. The starkly vivid illustrations, featuring thick grey outlines and rainbow hues, underscore a profound message of faith, acceptance, love, and spiritual wholeness.

God creates a world filled with color. "Then God blessed the colors with love, life, and purpose." But there comes the time when the people God created on the Earth start to argue about what colour God is--green like the plants, blue like the sky, and so on. It isn't long before they are saying that God has the colour of their own skin--black, red, yellow, etc. Their disagreements lead nowhere, until a rainbow forms across the sky and, as one of the people says, they all realize that God is not any one color, but is the "same colors as we are, [and] everyone is made from God's colors." McDunn works at a monastery for Benedictine Sisters in Minnesota. Knutson's vivid full-page illustrations accentuate the simple story's lesson about the equality of all races in the eyes of God.

A storybook for young children, The Colour of Me relates colors to God's creation of soils, plants, creatures, and animals, then people, who are presented as "gifts to one another, different in colour but he same in heart." In the second half of the story, a child who asks about the colour of God hears a variety of answers including "like me" and "like my skin." The disagreements are washed away by a gentle, warm rain followed by a rainbow and a wise answer to the boy's repeated question, "So, what colour is God?" Barbara Knutson's vibrant illustrations reinforce the message.
