Beautiful story and illustrations
I love Nancy Tillman books and this one is no exception. Beautifully written and illustrated story of the beginning of life. We gave this to our children on Easter and enjoyed reading it to them all that morning.

Nice book, great letters from the authors but it wasn't long enough, nor did it give enough detail about the creation story. I realize it is a children's book but I just think you can and should have more substance, especially for something as beautiful as the story of creation, children can hang in for a longer story and I just think there was too much left out...I was left thinking that I couldn't believe that it had ended when there was so much left to tell...but what is there, is very well done.
Simple and sweet. We love it!
Sweet & simple telling of the creation of the earth from Genesis. Easy to understand for younger children. The are is beautiful in traditional Nancy Tillman style. I love that an image of God or His hand is hidden in every page. My kids had fun searching for the picture.
Love it!
I love all of Nancy Tillman's books, and I am a huge supporter of Desmond Tutu, so this book had been on my wishlist since it first went public. I was not disappointed. Some people were upset that the words are not directly from the Bible, however, then it would not be the words of Desmond Tutu. This is a book that he wrote to explain creation, and it is beautiful!
Loveđ
This is the sweetest book. And it is beautifully decorated. It should be a classic that's on the shelf of every child. I bought it to read to my 6 yr old but it could be read to a much younger child and I don't think you could get too old for it
A Lovely Book about Creation
I pre-ordered this book hoping it wouldn't turn out to be some strange version of the Biblical story of creation. It's sweet and lyrical but not to the extent of becoming cloying, at least to me. The illustrations are, as always with Nancy Tillman, a joy. The book basically follows the sequence of the creation story from Genesis.

This book is absolutely gorgeous! As a South African living in the US, I really wanted to find a good selection of books relating to South Africa for my 6 year old daughter. This book does not disappoint! A++
Beautiful creation story
I love Nancy Tillman---her books are moving, emotional and poetic. Let There Be Light is no exception. I was wondering how I would introduce creation to my toddler and when I found this book, I had my answer. I love the illustrations and the text. This is a beautiful book and I have already given it as a gift. Recommended!

Such a great story! I love the illustrations by Nancy Tillman and my 2 year old daughter is always drawn to the books drawn by her! I would buy any book she illustrates! Also a wonderful story of how God created the earth and easy for children to understand.
