The Moonbeam Award Silver Medal Winner in the religion category, I Will Rejoice allows parents and teachers to share wonderful ways children can rejoice in the simple pleasures of everyday life. Based on Psalm 118:24, I Will Rejoice brings Scripture to a child's level of understanding. Children six and under will easily relate to how they can rejoice in the day the Lord has made. Using rhyme, author Karma Wilson captures the essence of this well-known verse and offers true teachable moments. Whether it be a good morning kiss, lunch shared with a teddy bear, a cozy lap, or time with the family, children will easily grasp the concept of rejoicing with the meaningful things that make up their day.

Karma Wilson's first poem was published at the tender age of six. The poem was ironically titled, 'I Don't Wanna Write a Poem!' Growing up, she had no desire to write. But Providence had different plans, and now Karma writes poems for a living when she's not busy being a wife and raising three kids. Karma is the bestselling author of Bear Snores On and Bear Wants More, as well as Let's Make a Joyful Noise, Give Thanks to the Lord, and I Will Rejoice.
Amy June Bates has illustrated dozens of children's books, including Pumpkin Cat and the Beryl E. Bean series. She lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with her husband and their son, Evan.
"This is the day that the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 forms the basis of this simple picture book about a young girl who finds God in sweet, everyday moments. From her good morning kiss and the playful games she plays with Dad to the bedtime story her mother reads to her, everything is an opportunity to rejoice, and she "gives thanks to Jesus" before falling asleep. Written in rhyming couplets, the short, simple text blends the scriptural refrain with immediate details from a child's world. Bates' pencil-and-watercolor illustrations add interest to the basic words with expressive scenes of a brown-haired girl playing and giving praise in her snug home. A good sleepy-time choice, this will partner well with Eleanor Farjeon's Morning Has Broken (1996), which is also inspired by Psalm 118:24. Gillian Engberg
