The creation of the Earth in seven days is one of the most fascinating stories in the Bible, especially for children. The popular author and seven-time grandmother Margot Kässmann narrates the vivid story of the Earth's formation in this expressive book for children aged 5 and up, illustrated by Stefanie Scharnberg.

How did the world come into being? Where do we actually come from? Why are we all so different? Why should we rest on one day of the week?

All these questions are answered by the well-known theologian Margot Kässmann from a Christian perspective in her retelling of the biblical creation story for children. She describes what God created in seven days: heaven and earth, day and night, morning and evening, plants, trees, animals - and as the crowning achievement in God's image - humans, Adam and Eve. God entrusts us humans with a very special responsibility: we are to "rule" over the Earth, all animals, and plants.

Margot Kässmann presents the elements of creation in child-friendly language and playfully conveys why it is so important for us to respect and preserve creation - our environment, plants, animals, and fellow humans.
