Wherever you are, God is there.
God is in the gently falling snow, the river, and the honeybee. God is in the people you meet. God is in city streets and country lanes. God is in laughter and tears. No matter where you go, how you are feeling, or what you do, God is with you.
This gentle, reassuring picture book by bestselling author Glenys Nellist and illustrator Sian James encourages children to notice God all around them, in the ordinary people and places of everyday life.

What reviewers said
"This calm and affirming message of God's presence and love is simply gorgeous. With her trademark gifts of rhythm and rhyme, Glenys Nellist has created a soothing and lyrical work that children and the adults in their lives will love and will return to, again and again."
"Wherever You Are is exactly the kind of book I would want to give to my adult kids to read to their children, and I hope my grandchildren will someday read it to their children. It tells in well-chosen words and shows in beautiful illustrations what everyone needs to know about God, life, and love." --Brian D. McLaren, activist and author of Faith After Doubt and Do I Stay Christian?
"Glenys Nellist is a true master at distilling profound theological concepts into accessible formats without watering them down. I love this book."
"Carl Jung famously had 'Bidden or not bidden, God is present,' carved over his door. Now children can be greeted with this same promise in Glenys Nellist's gorgeous new book, Wherever You Are. Each page opens our imaginations as we're reminded of the many ways we experience God with us in this glorious world."
