I can just about guarantee that at some point in your parenting journey, you’ve experienced the question stage. Why this? Why that? How does this work? This book is written right to our curious little ones and addresses the nature of God - is he always active, or does he ever take a break? “Does God Sleep?” tackles this very question.

The book is by Amy Gannett, and it provides a simple yet profound explanation of God's power and constant presence. Through gentle, rhyming text and charming illustrations, the book reassures young readers that God is always awake, always aware, and always working to sustain His creation.

The story starts by posing the question, "Do you ever wonder if God sleeps through the night? Does he yawn or stay up too late?" The answer, of course, is a resounding "no" - God never sleeps, and His power never ends. The book goes on to explain that unlike us, God doesn't need rest. He's always available, always active, and always in control.

The language is simple, but the message is profound. It reassures children (and their parents!) that we can always depend on God's unwavering presence and protection.

This is just one of a series of books from Amy Gannett that tackles big questions about God. There's also "Did God Learn His ABCs?" and "Does God Go on Vacation?" - all perfect for curious, inquiring minds. I highly recommend adding "Does God Sleep?" to your family's library. It's a wonderful tool for sparking meaningful discussions about faith and the nature of God.
