God Made Stop and Go is a whimsical journey into the world of wiggles, stretches, steps, and stops that will capture the hearts of both children and their grown-up reading buddies. Authored by the talented Laura Derico and brought to life with the enchanting illustrations of Anita Schmidt, this book is a gem in the God Made All of Me series.

The vibrant illustrations leap off the paper, inviting children to join in the delightful chaos of movement that God designed just for them. The rhythmic text dances through the pages, making it a joy to read aloud. The words create a rhythm that’s as cheerful as a carefree melody!
Â
What I love most about this book is how it celebrates the uniqueness of each child. It says, "Hey, it's okay to wiggle and stretch, and it's just as cool to take a moment and stop." In a world that sometimes rushes by, this book is a gentle reminder to embrace the wonderful variety of ways God made us to move.
