“This gentle exploration of the fruit of the Spirit is inspiring and instructive. This book will delight readers young and old alike.” – Katherine Willis Pershey, author of Very Married and Any Day A Beautiful Change
“Jennifer Grant has a particular gift of writing with both gentle simplicity and rich wisdom, and I found this book refreshingly moving. My eight-year-old son did too. He’s much more drawn to good questions than pat explanations of faith, and this story speaks his language, and points to a God who is not only at work around him, but who is good to him as well. I’m grateful for it.” – Micha Boyett, author of Found: A Story of Questions, Grace, and Everyday Prayer
“I’m always looking for ways to talk with my children about who God is, and this book gives me a sweet, warm, relatable way to do it. I love how the story and illustrations show God at work all around us, in the city, in the classroom, and in our homes. I will share this book with many friends!” – Amy Julia Becker, author of Small Talk and A Good and Perfect Gift
