Short, colourful book helping primary school children understand and celebrate God's wonderfully diverse creation.
God could have made us all exactly the same, but He didn't. And our differences are good!
As His children, those called by God to belong to His family, we can actually use our differences to help each other. Here's some more great news: There are no rules about how we look or sound to be in His family. We have a delightfully different family on purpose.
This short, colorful book (written with grade-schoolers in mind) will share the truth of God's Word with them. The truth about how we were made with differences, how we sinned, how God rescued us, and how—if we understand that God's diverse creation will be together in Heaven—it should motivate us to love one another on earth!

If there's one book every young family, every church, needs right now, it's this one. This book could literally change a generation, change the trajectory of our culture, change a whole world of broken toward hope. Trillia Newbell is the voice to lead us and our families and I can't remember reading a children's book with as much hunger as I read this one—for such a time as now.
Creative God, Colorful Us is a beautiful guide to both the gospel and its life-giving call to be a part of God's diverse and colorful family! Trillia's writing is clear, joyfully invitational, and will be a wonderful resource that I'll use with my own children as we learn what it means to be a part of God's kingdom that's coming. This is a book I wish I could have read as a young believer because it presents the invitation to celebrate the beauty and diversity of every tribe, nation, and tongue. Creative God, Colorful Us is a clear and lovely presentation of the gospel and it's call to acknowledge and enjoy the diversity within the family of God.
Many of us aren't exactly sure how to talk to the children in our life about diversity from a biblical lens. In Creative God, Colorful Us, Trillia delightfully and compellingly breaks it all down while inviting her young readers to process and apply the book's lessons through creative, fun, and practical activities. This book, which so clearly presents the gospel and its exciting, far-reaching implications, should be available at every church. I hope it reaches the hands of grade-school children everywhere.
