"A beautiful reminder for kids—and adults!—that God can be found all around us, every day, in nature and in the simple joys of life. Taking kids through all the four seasons and the unique beauty they each bring, Kara Lawler reminds us that God is always close by, and beautiful changes are just on the horizon. God, Right Here is a sweet reminder to kids and their parents to slow down, notice God's goodness, and take time to celebrate his beautiful creation each and every day."

"Parents and grandparents who want to celebrate God's gifts of beauty in creation will delight in reading God, Right Here by Kara Lawler aloud and examining Jennie Poh's exquisite drawings with their favorite little people. The book points to seasonal changes as evidence of God's sovereignty and a portal to witness his glory."

"What an exquisite illustration of God in nature, in the changing seasons, in our holy everywhere. Just yesterday, I laughed with my daughter as we squinched up our eyes and turned our faces to the sky, catching giant, fluffy snowflakes on our tongues. God's love for us is truly right here and everywhere! What a gift this book will be to all of us again and again—a triumph of words from Kara Lawler."

"In God, Right Here, whimsical illustrations combine with captivating narrative to form a celebration of seasons and the God who is present in each one. Children will adore encountering the treasures found in nature, all while discovering that God is right here, in everything. While we delight in God's creation, God delights in us—always—which is the message this beautiful book will plant in the hearts of our children."

"Kara Lawler's debut picture book, God, Right Here, is pure magnificence. The words and illustrations form a rich tapestry showcasing how our God is with us in each and every season. Children will delight in searching for all the ways they see God in the pages of this exquisitely illustrated picture book. Children and adults alike will be inspired to appreciate all the vibrant nature on display in each of our lives.

"Lawler encourages children to see that, as the seasons change, God is always holding their hands, and they are never alone. In fact, every aspect of creation—people, rain, sunshine, flowers, beaches, seashells, birds, dolphins, trees, leaves, snow, and more—are part of God's grand design. Children will learn that no matter how many changes they encounter in the natural world, 'God is still at work. / God, ever near.' "
