Compton's watercolors, though vigorous and multicultural, are somewhat amateurish. However, the (somewhat lengthy) text presents an anthropomorphic view of God that may not fit in with some readers' beliefs. Commendably, Sasso doesn't presume to answer the questions but instead allows readers to ponder and formulate their own answers. Using a variety of images-some from the natural world, some from everyday life, all of them well within a child's frame of reference-the author presents a series of simple scenarios (a friend moving away the ticklish quality of fizz on an ice cream soda) and then poses related questions (``How can you be God's friend?'' ``What do you think would make God cry or laugh?'').

Book Feature by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso has written 10 books in 10 years that foster the spiritual life of children and their parents. Here Sasso, the second woman to be ordained as a rabbi, undertakes an ambitious project to help readers define for themselves the nature of God and their own connection to God. On the 10th anniversary of her acclaimed children's book God's Paintbrush, Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso talks about children's spirituality and what parents can do to nurture it. Books for children that deal with spirituality are often a dicey proposition.
