by Diane Marie Howell (Author)
Think back to when you were a young child. Do you recall a little voice inside with words of wisdom? Of caution? As you grew older, that same voice for some of us, became more of an annoyance that seemed to always shout out knowing all the answers before we did. It seemed to have something to say about everything! So, as we grew older, we may have pushed it aside wanting to go it alone feeling as though "I've got this". How did that work out for you? Personally, I made a whole bunch of mistakes, some I would wish to have avoided.
AWARENESS. This book is all about awareness and is a great tool for children of all ages, serving as a reminder to those who may have grown away from or forgotten about their inner voice and the wisdom, the strength, and the power it beholds.
In this book, young Lucy is hoping for a "basket" for her birthday with all the answers she is seeking to her most very important questions. What she receives will surprise her and teach her that she already possesses the answers she so intently seeks. She becomes aware of her inner voice and learns of its importance for her own inner strength, hope and for her new word, guidance.
This is a little book with a very powerful message for the child in us all seeking answers.
One of the most profound aspects of Howell's approach is the metaphor of talking to God as naturally as eating. This comparison is not only clever, but also deeply meaningful, reminding readers that just as our bodies need nourishment, our souls also long to be "filled up." The book captures this spiritual truth in a way that children can easily relate to, while also resonating with parents and caregivers. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, pulling readers into the flow of the story and amplifying the message in a warm, engaging way. The inclusion of the magic teddy bear adds a delightful, whimsical touch that children will adore. Yet, beyond the playful imagery, the story conveys an even deeper truth: we all carry that same spark of divine magic within ourselves. It is a message of hope, comfort, and empowerment that cannot be forgotten.

God is in my Tummy by Diane Howell is a precious story of an unendingly curious little girl named Lucy, who has asked for a basket of answers because she has so many unresolved questions. This story is about honoring one's curiosity, embracing whimsy, dreaming, creativity, self-discovery, and in trusting you have all the answers. Howell delivers a profound reminder through the eyes of a young girl, how to embrace our own inner voice to remind us of our own unique personal power. The graphics are colorfully engaging and cuddly. For librarians, teachers, parents or caretakers who are reading to little ones, the book is structured to invoke interactivity with children right from the beginning to invite them into their own curiosity, magical and playful whimsy -- What question would you ask a basket of answers or your Teddy Bear?
