review 1: This is an excellent story directed at children to encourage them to look deep inside themselves and asks what they dream of. In the story children are encouraged to live by the word of God, which ever God or faith they believe in or follow, and to treat people equally, being kind, caring, forgiving, regardless of how they look, what language they speak, their ethnicity, what religion they follow. It would be an excellent choice of book for use in a RE class as it incorporates the main goals in many religions without focusing on one in particular. It has one clear message which is delivered very well by Abrams and Tutu; equality. The illustrations in the book are very powerful and strongly support the story and message being delivered by the authors in a very accessibl... moree and child-friendly manner. I would say that it is a story suitable for KS1 and KS2 that could be read to the class, as it is the message that is delivered that is the most important aspect of the story.
review 2: God's Dream is a great children's books, regardless of your faith. It is easy to read and can really be interpreted in many ways. The Archbishop talks about all the things he thinks God would want for our world and they are all things I hope would hope, we would dream for also. It has large print and beautiful illustrations that children can read and enjoy by themselves. It has pictures of many different races, colors, hair colors, etc. so every child can find someone that they relate to. I love it and definitely recommend it to any Christian children. less
