Everything

Is everything random chaos? Or does every shining star, every fish in the sea, every elephant and butterfly, and every human life mean something... something unimaginably splendid?


A delightful life affirming and spiritually nourishing picture-book from illustrator Simon Godsell that invites us to view everything, around, above and below with a sense of quiet, joyful wonder.

Themes of new life, race, marriage, natural history and the place of the human family in creation are each explored as the gently humorous and simple narrative unfolds, prompting a dialogue between adult and child, that may enlighten both, as the wonderful meaning of 'Everything' is revealed on the final pages.


A vibrant, beautifully illustrated and educational read-aloud rhyming picture-book that helps teach phonics; inspired by the popular nineteenth century hymn, All Things Bright and Beautiful, written by Cecil Frances Alexander.


The natural world is a song with an eternal melody, and this book is an invitation to listen a little closer.


Simon Godsell lives in the middle of England. He enjoys sitting quietly every day, thinking about how strange and beautiful life is, and writing picture books about it. After many years doing this he is now convinced that most books would be improved by the addition of at least one penguin.
