Creation's Praise
by Vivian May Edwards
Illustrated by Janis Lee Colon
2007
71 pages

Creation's Praise is a beautifully written and illustrated children's book. Edward's focus in this devotional style book is giving praise to the King of all creation. Each devotion is approximately one page long and easily adapted to children of different ages. One of my favorite features is how each devotion teaches a new vocabulary word. Some of the words like essence can be difficult to define, even as an adult, but Vivian May Edwards does a beautiful job helping the reader explain each vocabulary word in a child like fashion.  Janis Lee Colon does a spectacular job in her water colored type illustrations. For a young child looking at the illustrations and reading the bible verse is a great teaching tool. This children's devotional book would be a great addition to your child's bookshelf.

“Creation's Praise” gives you the tools needed to teach children more about God's Word.

Laurel has a house full of boys--three to be exact, however, if you add her husband, the cat and the dog, masculinity runs rampant. Laurel lives in Florida and recently celebrated 13 years of marriage. She graduated from college with a communication degree.  She has been an in-home childcare provider, and a pre-school teacher. She is currently a part time office assistant, which allows her to spend time with the boys when they are out of school.  Reading is Laurel’s easiest, and sometimes only, method for getting away from it all.

Laurel is also a devotional writer for the Laced With Grace website, and during her spare time you can find her on her blog at
