Overview:

I have to admit that the title to this book put me off a little bit, shouldn’t it be something like I want to be just like God? But I was won over by the great illustrations and the logic of this young Puerto Rican girl in New York City. She finds great examples of God’s character all around her. God likes to make things, He likes to be loud and paint with lots of colors. He also likes music and to be quiet sometimes and, of course, he likes to laugh! Read this delightful book to discover the many characteristics our main character and God have in common.
