What I Like About the Book:
- The concept- that God invented Eva, and Eva invents things too, I believe an attempt to build STEM education with a biblical worldview perhaps?
- The Artwork has personality, style, life, and definitely builds style in the text and concepts of the book.
- The book connects how God views Eva and the reader/listener.
- The author's perspective and tone to share from Eva's perspective (a creative kid).
- The concepts communicated through the book- God made Eva to be like Him, God makes all things new, even the hint at what makes God happy.
- The book has a good kid perspective with fun words like "whirligig, loofapus, dazzle, pizzazz,...) As well as the character's facial expressions that sell her thoughts.
What I Wonder About the Book:
- The art on some pages is so bright and busy, it distracts me, will it distract the littles who are the intended audience? I think the style of the book will encourage re-reads, and noticing the details, so I'm not sure.
- The 'third' comparison is a bit awkward to me, we hear about God- He's compared to Eva- and Eva's compared to her creations, repeated in what she likes, what God likes, etc. I'm just not sure that it doesn't need a different transition- I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is an element that is a bit awkward to me.
Thankful to partner with Waterbrook and read a physical copy of the book. It was released in November, but my new job has distracted me a lot from reviewing books.
