My review:
The colorful cover immediately drew me to Guess Who is In God's Family. This is the second book in the Questions for Kids series by Karen Ferguson.
I loved the illustrations throughout the story. They are beautifully done and children will delight in looking at them again and again.
When Lucy starts mentioning to her Papa that her relatives look different from her, her Papa explains "We may look different, but we are all created in God's image, and we all go back to the first family." What follows is the story of Adam and Eve.
Again, the story is beautifully done but I wanted to know if maybe Lucy had been adopted (and possibly it is covered in the first book). Because while it is true, we are all created in God's image, if we are biologically born into our families, we will have similarities. Lucy did not have similarities to her Papa (I think he is her grandfather, but that is also unclear) or the other family members they discussed. I feel like this should have been cleared up, especially for readers who don't have the opportunity to read the first book.
Guess Who is in God's Family would be best for children four or five and up.
Thank you to JustReads Publicity and the author for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

About the Book
When Lucy comes across some old family pictures, she has a lot of questions for Papa Joe. Who are these people? Why doesn’t she look like them? As Papa Joe tells Lucy about her family, he shares with her the uniqueness that God created in each of us from the very beginning, all the way back to our first ancestors, Adam and Eve. What follows is a wild adventure through the Bible, where Lucy and her papa discover God’s love and faithfulness for all people throughout all of history. In this second book in the Questions for Kids series, discover how much God loves diversity and how God created your family in the most beautiful and perfect way.
Thank you for the review.
