Let There Be Light is a new book by Archbishop Desmond Tutu (illustrated by Nancy Tillman). Let There Be Light is available as a hardcover, a board book, and is also available for Kindle. (I received the board book edition to review.)
Author Archbishop Desmond Tutu is a Nobel Peace Prize Winner. Illustrator Nancy Tillman has illustrated books such as On The Night You Were Born and Wherever You Are: My Love Will Find You.
Let There Be Light is a beautifully written biblical story of creation (written in story form, not quoted from the Bible). It is written in a way that maintains the awe and wonder of the creation week.
The illustrations in Let There Be Light are interesting. The illustrations seem to be a mixture of paintings and photographs that have been retouched for a "painted" feel. Many of the illustrations contain a hint of a human (Jesus?) form, which is often portrayed with a glow. I thought this was an interesting addition to the pages.
All in all, I think Let There Be Light is a beautifully done story of creation to share with children.
