When children begin asking big questions about fairness, identity, and belonging, families of faith often look for stories that bring comfort and reassurance.

God's New World: A Story of Belonging for Families of Faith is inspired by Isaiah 43:5-7:

"Do not be afraid... I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west."

Through seven children from different backgrounds, this illustrated story offers a simple reminder that God gathers His children from every direction - north, south, east, and west - and that each child has a place in His loving plan.

Written for parents, grandparents, and educators, this edition gently affirms that belonging begins with God's love and grows through kindness, courage, and community.

This Christian Edition includes a short Scripture-based addendum with reflection questions to support family conversation at home, in classrooms, or in church settings.

Ideal for:

• Family reading time

• Church groups

• Christian classrooms

• Faith-based library collections

A peaceful, faith-centered story that reminds children they are seen, known, and gathered in love.
