Description
Black Authors Matter Children's Book Award
No longer is church a divided space
Now it's a celebration place!
Church is more than just a building—it's a gathering of God's people to celebrate who he is and all that he has done. Welcome to The Celebration Place, a beautifully illustrated book that invites children to envision God's dream for a delightfully diverse church. Authored by Dorena Williamson and brought to life with vibrant illustrations by Erin Bennett Banks, this book inspires kids to see the beauty of community, unity, and justice in God's kingdom.
The Celebration Place helps kids and families explore themes of inclusivity and belonging, emphasizing that church is a place where God's people celebrate diversity, work together, and learn about God's vision for justice and unity. That was the message that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shared, and it's an important message for us today. Because of God's great love, church should be the best celebration place!
This delightful rhyme, accompanied by colorful illustrations, will be enjoyed by children and the adults who read with them. Also included is a note from the author to encourage further conversation about the content.
Key features:
- Fully Illustrated: Stunning artwork that captures the imagination and brings the message to life
- Parent and Caregiver Message: Includes a message from the author to help families discuss the book’s themes with children
- A Heartfelt Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: Highlights the legacy of Dr. King's vision and work for justice and unity
Perfect for Christian parents, caregivers, church leaders, and educators, The Celebration Place encourages families to celebrate the vibrant, inclusive family of God. Share this meaningful story with the children in your life, and start conversations about faith, justice, and the beauty of diversity. Discover IVP Kids and share with children the things that matter to God!

I absolutely loved The Celebration Place by Dorena Williamson!!! In my opinion, the book illustrates how God/Jesus intended church to be--everyone worshipping Him together as one. I highly recommend this book!!! I believe it will be a blessing to others and teach everyone how Church should be. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. (My review is also on Goodreads.)

A little heaven on earth where every tribe, every color, man, woman, and child celebrate God in worship. Celebrating God in worship draws us closer as a community and strengthens our faith. This colorful is a great resource to read with your children on what celebration means and the hope that it brings.
A special thank you to Intervarsity Press and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review
