Children - and adults - often fear things they don't understand. This story is a great book to share with children to help them know they can trust God and know they do not have to be afraid because God is with them! This is a message we all need to hear and be reminded of! When you read this to the children in your ministry or family, be sure to ask them what they are afraid of and then spend time talking with God about it together!
