Only Child

By Courtney Butler

Every child needs a friend, and no child is ever truly alone.

CeeCee is an only child. She has no brothers or sisters, just her twin dolls, Chelsey and Chasity, and a backyard full of birds and Mommy's blooming flowers. From her front porch steps in her new neighborhood, she watches the other kids playing Hide and Go Seek and Tag, and she wishes she had someone to play with too.

When CeeCee bravely introduces herself, she learns that making friends isn't always easy. Then she meets sisters Nancy and Nichole. A summer of swimming, swings, jump rope, picking flowers, and ice cream trucks follows, and CeeCee finally feels like she has sisters of her own. But when Nichole reminds her that Nancy isn't really her sister, CeeCee has to discover what true friendship means, and the comfort that she is never truly alone.

Only Child is a heartwarming, faith-filled picture book about loneliness, courage, friendship, and belonging. With bright, joyful illustrations and a gentle Christian message, it's perfect for:

A sweet, reassuring story for ages 4-8 that reminds every child: "We are never alone, for God is always with us."
