Why Get This Book

Kids notice quickly who's different, and they don't always know what to do with it. Bert the roadrunner is fast; Taylor the tortoise is slow. Together they learn that God had a reason for making each of them the way they are, and they can still be friends. It includes a Bible verse and activities, so the lesson sticks after the last page. It's sweet for preschool and early elementary kids. Honest note: it's a simple picture book, so older kids will move past it quickly. Next step: read 1 Corinthians 12:18 together and name one thing God made special about each other.
