...all the children of he world

[KristieMN]

.. red and yellow, black, and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

My middle daughter talked me into posting this pattern.
I am not sure why I started making these little guys. The kids at her school LOVE them. Go figure!
