Each illustration celebrates God's handiwork from nature to his design of people, showing women and girls with different skin tones, body shapes, hair types, and abilities. On each page, a child learns fun facts about creation—the same God who made tigers, snowflakes, sunsets, and stars, is the God who fearfully and wonderfully created each person perfectly in his image.

We all feel wonder when we experience creation — and research confirms it: nature draws us into awe. That’s why it matters to teach girls this early. When they understand that the God who formed the stars also formed them, they begin to see beauty and worth rightly — not as something to earn, but something already given. So when the doubts come (and they will), they’ll know where to look. May every child know that anytime they wonder or doubt if they are worthy or beautiful, all they have to do is go to the window and look up. God’s love for them spans across the sky.
