God Made Happy, Sad, and Mad - Author Laura Derico & Illustrator Anita Schmidt (God Made All of Me Series)

You want your child to know that every part of them—from their emotions to their wiggles to their curiosity—is beautiful in God’s eyes. The God Made All of Me board book series pairs bold, fun illustrations with rollicking text to help babies and toddlers grow in awareness of who they are, who God is, and the wondrous world they can discover.

God Made Happy, Sad, and Mad: Happy, mad, sleepy, or sad—God made us to feel so many things!

This colorful board book series introduces babies and toddlers to the world around them—and what they feel inside—in a developmentally appropriate and faith-based way. An intentional exploration of social-emotional needs and sensory awareness, the God Made All of Me series begins with two vibrant books perfectly designed for young attention spans:

God Made Stop and Go: Wiggles and stretches and steps and stops— God made us to move in so many ways!

God Made Happy, Sad, and Mad: Happy, mad, sleepy, or sad—God made us to feel so many things!

These delightful books celebrate the fun, messy, beautiful, noisy, soft, and unique ways God made children and the whole world. Bold illustrations partnered with rhythmic text make the God Made All of Me series a joy to read and give as gifts.
