Priscilla Ogboru’s charming picture book, God’s Grand Quest, shares the Christian story of creation. Young readers journey with a girl and her cat as they discover the wonders of our world, from the birth of stars to the creatures in the ocean's depths to the quiet hilltops. The young girl and her cat see planets spin, stars shine, and plants grow. They swim with whales and pet elephants. They even see dinosaurs! Each new discovery is a wonder to behold and sheds a shining light on our importance as caretakers of this world. These wonders are not simply meant to be viewed. The young girl soon learns that the world's beauty must be protected as well, and even the smallest actions can create big changes.
With sweet, simple, and well-crafted poetry, Priscilla Ogboru has crafted a story that shares the doctrine of Christian beliefs of how the world was created in a way that is approachable and entertaining. The importance placed on us as caretakers of the world is introduced well and is especially important in today’s climate for people of all faiths. Yvheniia Melnyk’s illustrations serve to enhance the playfulness of this story. The pictures are vibrant and colorful, with plenty of things to spot each time it is read, and the characters are animated and lively. I highly recommend this picture book. It was a joy to read, and I look forward to reading future works by Priscilla Ogboru and Yvheniia Melnyk.
