In this charming childrenā€™s picture , author Linsey Davisā€™s rhyming verse and illustrator Lucy Flemingā€™s bright, cheerful pictures highlight the diversity of Godā€™s creation in a classroom of youngsters: ā€œOur faces make a rainbow, / lots of colors all around. / Shades of tan and melon skin / and even chocolate brown!ā€

But despite the diversityā€”different hairstyles, abilities, facial features, and personalitiesā€”the children share more in common than first meets the eye. They all have feelings. They all like to have fun, play, dance to music, eat lunch and learn. But most importantly, the children are alike because ā€œGod gave us all a special giftā€” / we each have one big heart. / The thing that matters most is something we canā€™t see. / The touch of God thatā€™s inside you and also inside me.ā€

In todayā€™s culture, which often fosters a ā€œthem against usā€ mentality, One Big Heart is a gentle, joyful reminder that God created one human race for his glory.
