God's Earth is Something to Fight For
by Amy Houts, illustrations by Kris Smolskaya
I love Kris Smolskaya's artwork! This is one of my favorite spreads.
A groundbreaking, Christian picture book about God's call to take care of the Earth and fight climate change.
Through simple prose and multiple verses from the Bible, author Amy Houts explains to kids that everyone, all human beings, must work together to save the Earth by reversing the effects of hundreds of years of human-created environmental damage.
From writing letters to elected officials to recycling and saving water at home, kids are encouraged to make changes and to ask others to do so as well.

“This book gives children a sense of direction to respond faithfully to climate change and answer the call that God gives us to take care of creation!”
Rev. Emily Stirewalt, Resurrection, A United Methodist Church
“God's Earth is Something to Fight For is a wonderful primer to help children and their parents understand our responsibility as good stewards of God's creation. Leviticus 25, Psalm 24, and Colossians 1 remind us God created the earth. As followers of Jesus, we must defend it. Through easily understandable text and beautiful illustrations God's Earth…captures our calling to be creation caretakers. It should be read in every church nursery, Christian preschool, and at home.”
