NORTH SMITHFIELD, R.I., Nov. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When God created the Earth, He made it beautiful until He realized something was missing: people. In author Mickey Scotto's debut children's book, "God's Big Crayon Box: We are all so much more alike than we are different!" the author pulls from lessons she taught her own sons about God creating humans and how He used His big box of crayons to color people, animals and the world using different colors. "God's Big Crayon Box" highlights diversity while keeping the lesson at the most simplistic level for even very young readers to understand.
Throughout the colorful pages, the author shows readers how God used His big box of crayons to create humans and used colors such as white, black, brown and more. He also used different colors for their eyes and used all the other crayons in His box for nature, the animals and insects. God's people spoke different languages and came from different places on the earth, but He loved them all the same. The author emphasizes how God was pleased with the uniqueness He created, making people of different colors and shapes, each special in their own way.
"When my sons were very young, I taught them how God created people using His crayon box and even though someone may look or sound different, we were all created equally by Him," said Scotto. "This continued to serve as a basis in their life for treating everyone equally and understanding God created us all as humans. I wanted to share this important lesson with other children."
Ultimately, "God's Big Crayon Box" brings joy to readers by showing them the fun God had creating the world with different colors and how much He loves all the differences in His creations. The lesson presented throughout encourages a creative and fundamental way to educate children about diversity.
