Summary:
The books first page was intended to tell the readers that every face is unique and
that nobody on earth looks exactly like you. The next few pages were allocated to
show different faces from different countries. The faces described were from Africa,
Australia, China, France, Greece, India, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Spain, United States
and Philippines. Each face was described differently based on the differences in size
of the eyes, the shape of the nose, the size of the forehead, the length of the
cheekbone, the shape of the face, the color of the hair, the presence of dimples and
many other physical characteristics one could possess. After describing each face,
the readers were left with the question: So where does Gods favourite face come
from? All faces from the different countries around the world were specially made
by God.
Remarks:
Gods Favorite Face is a concept book that introduces different faces from different
places in the world and describes each through their physical characteristics. It is
one of the Gods Favorite series; a book that was written to introduce to young
children one of the important knowledge they should have regarding the world they
live in. Aside from helping children learn that every child looks differently, the book
also helps children remember what theyve learned through providing them
examples and illustrating them for an easy recall. In addition, this book is no
ordinary because it amplifies childrens knowledge about God, about His creation of
every unique child. This is one of the best simple ways to appreciate how special we

are and how we are wonderfully made. Also, it makes children gain appreciation to
others despite differences. While we read, we learn. While we learn, we appreciate.
While we appreciate, we say the words Thank You!
