Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Where are you, God?"A question that rises the moment a child's world tilts sideways - when Mom goes into the hospital, when Grandpa gets sick, when there's a diagnosis nobody can quite explain, or when someone they love is gone and everything suddenly feels unsteady.Where Are You, God? is a gentle, richly illustrated collection of Bible stories written to sit beside a frightened child and answer that question honestly - with comfort a child can hold onto, and truth a grown-up can trust.From Hagar alone in the desert to Daniel in the lions' den, from Jesus weeping at a friend's grave to the promise of a day when God wipes away every tear, each story meets children exactly where they are: scared, confused, maybe even angry - and longing to know they haven't been forgotten.This book makes no false promises that everyone always gets better. Instead, it offers something that holds up on the hardest days: God is present. God hears every prayer. Tears and hard questions are always welcome. And nothing - not sickness, not fear, not even death - can separate a child from God's love.Each story includes:A vivid, read-aloud retelling in simple, age-appropriate languageA gentle "What This Means for Me" reflection connecting the story to real fear and griefA short memory verse (World English Bible)A simple prayer, written in a child's own voiceWarm, full-colour illustrations for every storyBorn out of one family's real journey through a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, this book was read aloud, during quiet bedtimes - and it was written to be read the same way in yours: slowly, together, out loud.Whether your family is facing a new diagnosis, a hospital stay, a grandparent's decline, or the loss of someone dear, this book was written for exactly this moment. It's a companion for parents, grandparents, children's pastors, and hospital chaplains alike - and a gift that says, without pretending: you are seen, you are loved, and you are never, ever alone.
