PRESELLING!

The Because He Liked It series was created to help children see God's world with fresh eyes-full of beauty, mystery, and delight. Every book in this series holds a new collection of creatures and stories, each one reminding us that creation exists for a simple reason: Because God liked it.

The Bible tells us, "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." (Rev. 4:11) That means every colorful bird, every playful monkey, every hidden creature in the sea is here because it pleased Him.

These pages are not meant to be rushed. They are stepping-stones into wonder. Each illustration and reflection is a chance for you and your child to pause, look closer, and ask questions together.

Here are a few ways to make the most of your time with this series:

• Take it slowly. Let each picture and story breathe. Wonder grows best when it's not hurried.
• Ask questions. "What do you see?" "Why do you think God made it this way?" Their answers may open new doors of discovery.
• Follow curiosity. If your child wants to stay with one page or skip ahead to another let their interest guide you.
• Bring it to life. When you see a flower, a bird, or the night sky, pause and say, "God
  liked this, too."

This series is a tool for discovery-a way to nurture your child's imagination and point them toward the Creator's joy. My hope is that, as you read together, you will both come to see the world not as ordinary, but as extraordinary-because He liked it, and He made it good.

With gratitude,
Gerald Robison
