Synopsis
In the spirit of her acclaimed Dog Heaven and Cat Heaven, Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant illustrates the King James Bible creation story in a simple yet powerful folk art style.
Cynthia Rylant takes the familiar text of the creation story, as told in the King James Bible, and lovingly illustrates it in her simple but bold style that has been called “stunning” by School Library Journal. In striking illustrations reminiscent of folk art, Rylant has created a fresh take on a classic story that will appeal to readers of all ages.

Reviews
PreS-Gr 1—The content is exactly what the title implies. This is a picture book version of the creation story as told in Genesis. It has minimal text taken from the King James Bible. It begins with God separating the light and darkness and ends with the seventh day of rest. There is no additional text or information. Each simple, childlike acrylic painting corresponds directly to the text, but this version does not stand out in an already crowded field of excellent options. VERDICT A pleasing addition for fans of Rylant and church libraries looking for multiple versions of Bible tales.—Kris Hickey, Columbus Metropolitan Library, OH
