Good spiritual insight for children
I read this book to my kids (6 children ages 9 months to 12 years) and asked them what they thought of it when I was finished. I wanted to share their thoughts with you...

Chloe (age 9) said, "That was awesome! That was a really cool book and I liked the ending."
Sarah (age 12) said, "I loved it. Especially the part where Keoni is talking to the old fisherman."
Philip said, "I liked it." (That would be the opinion of an 11 year old boy :-)
They all agreed that they would definitely recommend it to other children.
In my adult opinion, I thought it was well done and really did a good job of answering an important spiritual question in an easy to understand way for kids. In this case the question is, "Why can't we see God?" Keoni asks people in his life this question but isn't really satisfied with the answers... he keeps asking until revelation comes. The concept of pressing in until the answer comes is wonderful for kids to grasp.
The illustrations are fanciful and Chloe said she like the picture that showed Keoni and all the light (his moment of revelation). All in all this is a lovely children's book with a good spiritual storyline that I am trying not to spoil for you. -

An endearing and beautiful Christian children's book
Keoni is troubled by a question that it seems no one can answer, but when he asks his friend Old Fisherman his big question, he finally hears the answer he has been searching for! Yes! God can be seen, He is everywhere, He is plainly seen in His amazing creation and shines through in His people. A truly beautiful book! I loved it!
