Product Description
What began as a spiritual has developed into one of America?s best-known songs, and now for the first time it appears as a picture book, masterfully created by award-winning artist Kadir Nelson.Through sublime landscapes and warm images of a boy and his family, Kadir has created a dazzling, intimate interpretation, one that rejoices in the connectedness of people and nature. Inspired by the song?s simple message, Kadir sought to capture the joy of living in and engaging with the world. Most importantly, he wished to portray the world as a child might see it?vast and beautiful.

My Grandson (and his dad) love this book. October 14, 2008
Love the song and couldn't resist the book. It surpassed our expectations. You should see the picture of my grandson reading it. He's entranced. His dad played along on the piano as he read it the first time.
GORGEOUS book promoting faith and environmental appreciation! July 23, 2008
"He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" is currently my son's favorite song; he sings it nearly every day, so as soon as I saw this book, I had to buy it. I'm so glad I did.
The lyrics to this spiritual-turned-favorite-hymn provide all the text. Written music is also provided on the last page. The illustrations are what truly make this book exceptional. Award-winning artist Kadir Nelson chose San Francisco as his setting. The illustrations feature a multiethnic family living in and engaging the world from a child's perspective.
What I Like: Everything! The colors, the size, the diversity, the message of faith and community. The illustations are magnificent! The entire book is quite striking. I love it! Better yet my kids do too. :)
What I Dislike: Nothing.
Overall Rating: Excellent.
Tanya -- Christian Children's Book Review
A Book to Treasure February 20, 2008
A wonderful addition to my Granddaughter's library. The pictures are bright and eye catching ~ the words are identical to the song. A fun book to read and sing together with a little one. A great addition to build your multi-cultural collection of books.

This book is sweet and to the point, and we loved that it has an Malawian/African-looking boy on the cover, and featured inside, because my wife and I are adopting from Ethiopia. We're very glad for the purchase.

He's Got the Whole World in His Hands May 7, 2007
I purchased this book for my son before his arrival. I love the song, and I was absolutely captivated by the beautiful illustration of the child on the front cover. I've subsequently given it as a gift several times! The illustrations are magnificent, and of course, the song is a classic. My son, now 20 months, loves books I can sing, and I pulled this out for him last week. He now finds it himself and brings it to me repeatedly. He is as captivated by the gorgeous illustrations as I am. The choice of subject-matter is simple and deeply moving. We send out a big "Thank you!" to Kadir Nelson for creating this warm and touching work of art! I am sure it will remain one of my favorite books to give as a gift!
