About the Series

This Good News for Little Hearts series of hardback, illustrated children’s books for three-to eight-year-olds—each centered on an animal family—bring gospel help and biblical counsel to families. The animal characters, colorful illustrations, and the real-life issues each animal family face will captivate children.

The last page contains information for parents on how God, in his Word, helps us turn to Jesus when we are experiencing different emotions (anxiety, fear, sadness, anger, etc.). Together children and parents will be guided into meaningful conversations about living by faith in the details of everyday life.

Also included is a tear-out page of “Back Pocket Bible Verses” that will give children a practical way to remember God’s words.

This Mom’s Review

Being able to read to my child any book that focuses on God’s goodness brings me great joy. This book is about being lonely.  The author wrote a story that points the character (actually, your child who feels alone in a new setting, such as a new school) toward God as she encourages him or her to make new friends and directs the child to God’s Word where it Jesus talks about friendships.

The way this author creates a kid-friendly story character that leads our child to a God-truth is amazing. I love this set of books and they will be treasured for many years. I do hope to even read them to my grandchildren in the coming years.

The illustrator, Joe Hox, also adds to the story with pages full of color and fun characters. My favorite illustration is the gecko is hiding underneath a bell.  So adorable!

Enjoy!
