Just Where Does God Live?

"Where does God live?" Six-year-old buddies, Parker and Nate, can't stop wondering about that question, so they embark on a quest to learn where God lives. Not quite satisfied with the responses they receive, they go to the source and ask God.

"Dad... just where does God Live?"

When his 6-year old son asked that question, Scott Brown answered with "a knee-jerk response that satisfied neither him nor me."

Later that day, Brown-an Episcopal priest-wrote a story that more adequately answered his son's question. The result is Just Where Does God Live?, a picture book written in rhyming verse and splashed with watercolor illustrations by San Antonio artist, Enedina Vasquez.

While Brown's goal in writing the book was to help his son understand that God lives in him, the book is also for parents. "Parents need help answering the tough questions their children ask about faith, God, and everyday life," Brown says. "I hope to provide parents with the tools to help their children find answers to those questions."

In the story, best buddies, Parker and Nate, ask three people where God lives. they receive the following response from their friend, Bella:

Bella cried, "You boys are silly
You're just such a hassle
Any girl can tell you
God lives in a pink castle."

That answer was good
And it made the boys think
Yet inside they wondered
"Would God really choose pink?"

The first book in a series, Just Where Does God Live? combines simple, lighthearted verse with stunning illustrations to help children understand how special they are in God's eyes.
