Mother God

Teach your kids that God's love transcends single-gender expression--God is creative, fierce, protective, and her love as a Mother knows no bounds.

With lyrical, rhyming text and exquisite illustrations, Mother God introduces readers to a dozen images of God inspired by feminine descriptions from Scripture. Children and adults alike will be in awe of the God who made them as they come to know her as a creative seamstress, generous baker, fierce mother bear, protective mother hen, strong woman in labor, nurturing nursing mother, wise grandmother, and comforting singer of lullabies.

This gorgeous picture book welcomes children into a fuller, more diverse understanding of what it means to be made in the image of God.

Endorsements

"Mother God is a delightfully powerful book. Teresa Kim Pecinovsky's rhyming prose is rich and full of life, and Khoa Le's illustrations are page after page of magic and wonderment. Mother God is a quiet anthem, one that I can't wait to read to my kids."

Matthew Paul Turner, New York Times bestselling coauthor of What Is God Like? and author of When God Made You

Reviews

"A lavish and loving exploration of the feminine facets of the Christian God that has the potential to appeal to secular readers as well."

School Library Journal

While meant for children, Mother God is the book that many mothers need: a reminder that in the midst of the chaos that is feeding, clothing, teaching, and caring for children, there is God. For anyone who reads it, this book is a beautiful and powerful reflection on who God is and how we are all reflections of the divine.

U.S. Catholic

"If you are looking for scriptural ways to speak of God as mother--strong, tender, nurturing, fierce, feeding, wise--with kids or even your own self, this isa. book to add to your shelf and your imagination. It is exquisite."

Sarah Bessey, author of Jesus Feminist (2013); Out of Sorts: Making Peace with an Evolving Faith (2015); and Miracles and Other Reasonable Things (2019).
