Vibrant illustrations will captivate the reader as this story of venturing out of your "safe place" unfolds. Kids will naturally relate to Bobby Joe, whose fear of the what ifs causes him to miss out on all the fun his friends are having. A simple, easy-to-grasp analogy from a kangaroo joey's perspective will help young minds understand what faith is and how they can apply it to their own lives when they face the unknown.
Excellent teaching tool for parents, grandparents, educators, Sunday school teachers, or anyone who desires to encourage the little ones in their care to trust God when they're scared. A wonderful way to inspire children to have the Biblical confidence to try new things and to discover all the great adventures waiting for them outside of their comfort zones if they'll just exercise a little faith.
This Biblically based message of faith in Jesus is designed to bring hope and encouragement to readers of all ages through the thought-provoking Author's Notes to Adults and the Questions for Kids at the end of the story. A short, written prayer provides an opportunity for older readers and younger listeners to connect by praying together, or it can also be used independently by an older child reading to themselves.
While the teaching itself spans all ages, the exceptional illustrations and intriguing narrative will be especially enjoyed by children ages 2-8.
