REVIEW FOR PARENT: Temba asks his Granny, "What is God like"? Through a series of examples Temba discovers a lot about God through the things around him.
"God is Spirit," Granny said. A hot wind blew off the plain. The leaves rustled in the trees around them, and Granny had to hold her hat." A spirit is like the wind. You can't see it, but you know that it's there.
Scripture: "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it come from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit. John 3:8
This book has beautiful imagery. Young readers will be able to relate as they learn about God and African culture.
