Book Review: When God Made Light by Matthew Paul Turner, Illustrated by David Catrow



When God Made Light is a sweet book for children about enjoying God’s creation and the light He put into it. I have to just say first off that the illustrations in this book are amazing! Honestly the pictures captured my attention more than the words. The text sparks the imagination, but to a young child who may lack context, the pictures do wonders. If you have a two year old and a three year old, like I do, they may be more interested in making their own observations about the pictures than hanging on to the words.

I definitely recommend this book for young children, largely because it is an attractive book. The illustrations have movement and character built into them and are just plain adorable pictures of kids (and their dog) having fun. The narrative rhymes and flows well but it’s the visuals that make this book work.


I received this book for free from the publisher through the Blogging for Books blogger review program. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions and thoughts I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255
