When God Made You




The best-selling favorite, now available as a board book! Whimsical rhyme and imaginative illustrations affirm that every child is God's unique creation and beloved by Him.

YOU, you... God thinks about you.
God was thinking of you long before your debut.

From early on, children are looking to discover their place in the world and longing to understand how their personalities, traits, and talents fit in. The assurance that they are deeply loved and a unique creation in our big universe is certain to help them spread their wings and fly.

Through playful, charming rhyme and vivid, fantastical illustrations, When God Made You inspires young readers to learn about their own special gifts and how they fit into God's divine plan as they grow, explore, and begin to create for themselves.

'Cause when God made YOU, somehow God knew
That the world needed someone exactly like you!

Praise for When God Made You

  • "Matthew Paul Turner, takes the same zinging words and keen eye he's esteemed for, and turns it towards a romping, memorable children's story... As the mother of six, I'm thrilled to read a fresh voice: Max Lucado meet Dr. Seuss." Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author of One Thousand Gifts
  • "Too often we forget to see the world that God made through child-like wonder. My friend Matthew Paul Turner has painted a beautiful, playful and meaningful picture of God's creation. May we all still find the awe and wonder of our God " Sandi Patty
  • "Catrow splashes color all over, uses white space cleverly, and includes playful flourishes... with rhymes that invite audience participation and scenes that draw the eye, this is a strong storytime choice." School Library Journal
