Hillsong Worship’s Grammy-award winning song What a Beautiful Name has transformed into a whimsical picture book for kids.
The book – also titled What a Beautiful Name – is a collaborative effort between songwriters Brooke Ligertwood (formerly Brooke Fraser) and Ben Fielding, along with their spouses Scott Ligertwood and Karralee Fielding.
The beautifully designed picture book translates the well-known words of the hit song, recorded in 2016, into a rhyming story.
Readers travel into space with best mates Oliver and Leo on their mission to discover an elusive name, the ‘Name above all Names’, according to the book’s official website.
