Editorial Reviews

Neighborhood, guidance, help, and encouragement texture these stories that bind children to one another and to adults who guide and protect them as they experience the Christian way of life that adults model for children. Each story comes at the possibility of life together from a slightly different angle with the biblical texts quietly noted only at the end. Story by story, subtly, calmly, and with psychological acumen, care and common sense overcome anxiety, fear, and failure.
