Allia Zobel Nolan’s God Made Us Just Right features quirky, whimsical and lovable baby animals who question their parents about why God made them in a certain way (i.e., with shells instead of fur or flappers instead of wings.) By seeing that God designed each animal with certain characteristics for a reason, parents can, in turn, explain to youngsters who ask why God made them with red hair, big ears or black or brown skin that he also had a plan and design when he created them.

To be published by Kregel Publishers in February 2021, the book is now available for pre-orders.

“Kids will relate to the back-and-forth question-and-answer format as it’s one that they’re familiar with themselves,” Zobel Nolan said. “With their inquisitive minds, they are always asking Mom ‘Why?’ or ‘How come?’” 

The book is filled with sweet, colorful and engaging illustrations by noted artist Katy Hudson.

Zobel Nolan has written more than 150 traditionally published children's and adult trade titles. Her books reflect her two main passions, God and cats, and include such varied titles as Cat Confessions: A Kitty Come Clean Tell All Book, Whatever Is Lovely: a 90-Day Devotional and Journal, and What I Like About You: A Book About Acceptance. In 2018, she collaborated with the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop on the humor anthology, Laugh Out Loud: 40 Women Humorists Celebrate Then and Now Before We Forget.

She lives with her husband, Desmond, and their two feline children, Nolan Nolan and Colleen Fiona Shannon Nolan.
