Deacon Grumpy
By Dr. JaiMarie
A strict church deacon, four determined girls, and a surprise that proves love can hide behind the grumpiest frown.
When Deacon Thomas moved away, the church welcomed a new leader-stern Deacon Jackson, soon nicknamed "Deacon Grumpy." He blocked bathroom breaks, rationed cookies, and traded playtime for study time. Four girls-especially Sue-felt like he said "no" to everything.
But years bring surprises. The same deacon who seemed so strict shows up for every milestone-graduations, birthdays, even scholarship troubles-arms full of gifts and a note that reads, "To my little brat, Sue Me... I'm so proud of you."
Told with warmth and humor and brought to life with bright, pop-color illustrations, Deacon Grumpy celebrates how firm guidance can hide a faithful, generous heart.
Perfect for ages 4-8 (and their grown-ups): a feel-good read-aloud about love, growth, and the unexpected mentors who cheer the loudest.
