MY THOUGHTS
Oh this was such a good story for kids. We meet Tim Bone who you can tell is an anxious little boy who is afraid of pretty much everything. He wants to blend in with the background afraid that he will be called on or made fun of. He imagines himself a tiger and how by being one he would be able to conquer all of his fears. No one would pick on him because he can be as brave as he wants. He quickly realizes that only one person can help him with his fears and that is God. Putting his trust in the one that can give him strength he realizes he can do and overcome anything.
We loved this book!! As a parent I really enjoyed the lesson in this book and the ease of reading it to my younger kiddos that had them enthralled in the story. It's refreshing to see books like this with a strong message on relying on God when facing anxiety or fears. My children (8 and 9) really enjoyed the illustrations.
Overall I really enjoyed this children's book and I can't wait to tell all my mama friends about it! It will be a great addition to your home library and a great gift for other mamas!
I received a copy of this book for review. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
