He got into nails, of course,
because He’d always loved
hands—
hands were some of the best things
He’d ever done.
In God Went to Beauty School Cynthia Rylant imagines a God whose curiosities about the world He created inspire Him to go out and experience human things. But what would God do if He could live in a human world? Would He write a fan letter? Get a dog? Make spaghetti?
God Went to Beauty School celebrates the simple things in life while taking a long, hard look at what it means to be human. Rylant’s soft, reflective, and often humorous verse glimpses everyday life through wide and wondering eyes and blends the familiar with the profoundly spiritual.
