Taste and See the Goodness of the Lord

This lovely and inspiring book helps children know God directly through their senses. Using taste, sight, touch, hearing, and smell, the author summons up everyday experiences that children are discovering for the first time (and that may make adults feel nostalgic with memory): the smell of brownies fresh from the oven, the taste of cotton canday at a carnival, the tickle of snowflakes on eyelashes, and so on. These experiences of ordinary goodness are glimpses into the nature of a God who is in all things because He made all things. The author concludes with a final "sixth sense" of the love of family as the best way to know God.In addition to the poetic text, the book has richly evocative illustrations. The scanned-image here does not do it justice. The real colors are much more vibrant.
