When I'm face-to-face with a huge giraffe,
And his neck's as long as a shepherd's staff,
I can feel the fear, but I'll choose to laugh.
And I'll talk to God about that.
And his neck's as long as a shepherd's staff,
I can feel the fear, but I'll choose to laugh.
And I'll talk to God about that.
Teaching
little ones to pray when they feel a bit fearful is easy with this
lighthearted, picture book by award-winning author Dandi Daley Mackall
and talented illustrator Janet Samuel. Written in rhyme from a child's
point of view, this sweet story portrays children experiencing several
worrisome situations--alone in the dark or doing something new--and
courageously declaring, "I'll talk to God about that."
Train your
little ones to talk to God and give them a sure way to trade those
feelings of fear for a sense of security. This lifelong journey begins
with a turn of the page and continues well into eternity.
