Praise for this book

"Cheerful, busy illustrations expand the minimal text with the intriguing cast of definitely diverse churchgoers, charmingly including children who can't sit still during church. An author's note explains the story was inspired by the Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco. A humorous, upbeat look at a contemporary church community where all are welcome."--Kirkus Reviews
"An inspiration in several senses of the word."--Booklist Online
