Description

 
God's New World

A gentle story about kindness, courage, and finding your place
 

In a quiet park, seven children begin asking simple questions about the world around them.

Who belongs?

What does kindness look like?

And how do we welcome someone who feels unsure or new?

As their conversations unfold, the children discover that building a better world doesn't require loud voices or grand speeches. It begins with listening. With patience. With small acts of care that make space for others.

Each chapter follows the children as they learn—together—how understanding grows through curiosity, how differences can become strengths, and how even the quietest gestures can matter. Along the way, they are gently guided by thoughtful moments, shared reflection, and a sense that the world can be both wide and kind at the same time.

As the story deepens, the children's perspective expands. What starts as simple questions in a park grows into a hopeful vision of a world shaped by compassion, responsibility, and respect—for one another and for the future they will inherit.

Told in warm, accessible language and paired with soft, calming illustrations, God's New World is designed for young readers, families, classrooms, and libraries seeking a story that encourages empathy without pressure and reflection without fear.

This book invites readers to slow down, notice one another, and imagine what becomes possible when kindness leads the way.

Includes:

•One gentle illustration per chapter
•A reflective addendum for families and educators
•Kid-friendly discussion questions to encourage conversation
 

God's New World is not about having all the answers—it's about learning how to ask better questions, together.
