Here's what critics are saying about the Good Good Father:

"This book does the most excellent job in helping kids to understand that God isn't an untouchable, angry, or unapproachable God." - CCM Magazine

"...a fine resource for adults looking to explain a multifaceted deity." - Publishers Weekly

"Its comforting plot imparts precious truths that often escape us grown-ups as well. The pictures are charming; the characters are lovable; the plot is tender without being cheesy." - Today's Christian Entertainment

"Not only is it a precious story of a little bear's determination to help his friends and seek out the King, but it holds a special metaphorical meaning for little ones. They will be reassured that God is so many things. A protector, a teacher, a healer, and most importantly a Good Good Father who loves them dearly." - Our Everyday Harvest

"What defines you the most is that you're a son of God and you're a daughter of God, and you're loved by a perfect father," Tomlin shared with attendees. "That's what Pat and I want for our own kids to know and for your kids as well."

The duo also performed the single that inspired the book, "Good Good Father." The beloved song hit the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Christian Digital Songs, Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts, also topping the MediaBase Christian Audience chart.

More than 250,000 people watched the event on Facebook Live on Tomlin's page. Read more about the book launch in The Tennessean.
