Book Reviews of He's Got the Whole World in His Hands
Book Review: *and that WORLD is the RESPONSIBILITY of ALL of us . . . *
Summary: 5 Stars
Incredible! How can this be the first review from Amazon readers?
Reviewer mcHAIKU is dumbfounded because Kadir Nelson's optimistic & colorful paintings should inspire everyone to at least say "Thank You" or "AMEN" !
What a wonderful book to share with children, and not only in *Sunday School* . . . the song has been a favorite for years at youth camps. Those places & occasions where we are free to voice such beliefs may become fewer. Our reaction should therefore be more convincing.
I love the fact that Nelson drew (& colored) the "kid drawings" - - with his left hand! Take a moment to appreciate a children's book that pictures almost entirely black people. And don't call that artificial. I call it necessary to the self-image of a large segment of our population. Let's share Nelson's inspirational book that wants readers (and listeners) to become INVOLVED, then get out & do some things that could make it happen for everybody, everywhere.
Summary of He's Got the Whole World in His Hands
What began as a spiritual has developed into one of America?s best-known songs, and now for the first time it appears as a picture book, masterfully created by award-winning artist Kadir Nelson.Through sublime landscapes and warm images of a boy and his family, Kadir has created a dazzling, intimate interpretation, one that rejoices in the connectedness of people and nature.
Inspired by the song?s simple message, Kadir sought to capture the joy of living in and engaging with the world. Most importantly, he wished to portray the world as a child might see it?vast and beautiful.
