Remember ironing your hair? Rolling it in soda cans to straighten it? Lacquering it with enough spray that it could ward off bullets? Ever slather on cement-colored lipstick so heavy, you looked like a zombie princess? Remember hot pants and platform heels? The danger of patent-leather shoes? Were you a secretary, nurse, or teacher, but only, as our mothers urged us, until you found "Mr. Right."

I morgon ska Tore börja skolan. Är det därför han inte kan sova? Golvet knarrar. Han sätter sig upp i sängen och drar täcket upp till hakan. Ljuset från gatlyktan lyser svagt genom rullgardinen. Han ser skuggan av ett lurvigt monster utanför fönstret. Det finns säkert ett annat monster i garderoben. Och under sängen! Nästa morgon följer mamma Tore till skolbussen. Han får genast en ny kompis. Den nya kompisen heter Joel och har glasögon och fotbollströja. På rasten spelar de fotboll, och då blir de tuffa killarna inte lika tuffa.Är du med mig, Gud? är en bilderbok för 3-6 åringar om tillit och förtröstan och första dagen i skolan. Text av Allia Zobel Nolan i översättning av Annica Hällzon. Allia har på Marcus Förlag tidigare utkommit med Det här är jag. Akvareller av John Brendall-Brunello.
