God's Kiss Pete Slaney

God's Kiss beckons all children and the young at heart to enter the dream world of a little traveler named Johnny who enters an extraordinary world of talking animals, magnificent mountains and valley; a place where children and animals from around the world gather on Christmas Eve to seek the special kiss of life - God's Kiss. God's Kiss is more than a heart-warming tale of a little boy's journey to a mystical land. It is about a child's sense of place in the world, a boy's discovery of how precious life is to all earth's creatures, and the powerful feeling of well being that embraces the reader. These are thoughts and emotions children instinctively understand (and search for), but the real magic of God's Kiss is how these emotions are rekindled in the hearts of adults. The exquisite illustrations of the artist Ed Gedrose embellish Mrs. Seebo's expressive story. Johnny's dream comes to life and the reader falls deeper into the fantasy through the stylistic impressions of Ed Gedrose. Look carefully at the pictures. Treasures of truth hide partially from view on every page awaiting scrutiny. God's Kiss is a children's classic meant to be shared through generations - a treasure that every family, school, and library must have.
