Spelling God is a one-of-a-kind children’s book written by speech-language pathologist and first-time children’s book author, Dr. Harvey J. Gardner. Spelling GOD is intended to entertain, inform, challenge, and inspire with engagingly illustrated mini-stories using child-friendly pedagogic techniques, presented in spiritually rich and often humorous rhymed phrases linked to G,
O, and D. The text would have been bland indeed, had it not been brought to life by Elliot Ward’s inspired, whimsical, and heartwarming illustrations, in which all the children are the color of water while all else is richly hued. Readers are invited to heed the call printed on the robin-towed sky banner at the top of the book’s cover: Each of the letters in ‘Spelling GOD’ tells tales that few have heard. / So open wide, explore inside, and find God’s wonderful word.
