The first seven days on Earth

How did the world come into existence? Where does the human race come from? And why are we all so different? Why should we rest one day in the week? Popular theologian Margot Käßmann answers all these questions in her retelling of the Biblical creation story for children. She describes how God created the world in seven days: Heaven and Earth, day and night, morning and evening, plants, trees, animals and then the humans Adam and Eve, who were made in God’s image. Margot Käßmann playfully explains why it is so important to care for and preserve our environment, plants, animals and other humans.
