The collaboration of author Charlotte Lundy and illustrator Miriam Sagasti, Thank You, God is especially recommended for young readers ages 4 to 8, and features a prayer which was written by former president Jimmy Carter and is a wonderful picturebook about Patrick, who dreams of one day flying airplanes. When Patrick's flight instructor tells him that he's a natural at flying, Patrick's father explains to him how God gives everyone special talents in life like with Dr. Campbell and his special talent of compassion and caring for the sick, or neighbor Hankins with her special talent of feeding and caring for the hungry, or Mr. Wilson with his special talent for building houses. Thank You, God is ideal reading for children. Also highly recommended are the other titles comprising this outstanding children's picturebook series by Charlotte Lundy: Thank You, Moses; Thank You, Noah; Thank You, Mary; Thank You, Paul; Thank You, Peter; Thank You Esther; Thank You Solomon; That You, Ruth & Naomi; and Thank You, Jesus.
