Cookie and Lexi are cousins who do everything together. Cookie is older and feels it is her job to not only look after her cousin, but to also provide honest answers for all Lexi's questions. One rainy afternoon, after Cookie has read Lexi her favorite Bible story, Lexi poses the question that every child at one time or another wants the answer to: "What color is God?" Cookie shares the answer with her younger cousin in a way that she best feels Lexi would understand, through poetry.
