The Special Little Sports Car

Sharon Chancey Smith invites parents and caretakers to "Sit, Read, Hug, and Snuggle" with their little ones as they read The Special Little Sports Car, a beautifully illustrated children's book about the power of prayer over adversity and bullying, and about helping a young angel earn his wings.

Sharon wrote this book in loving memory of her son, Seaver Chancey Sewell, who graduated to heaven at age six after a valiant battle with cancer, and in memory of his deep love for Jesus. It is also a tribute to his best friend, Cody, and their favorite "Special Little Sports Car," which Cody placed at Seaver's gravesite. It remains there to this day.

While reading, enjoy asking your children:

1. What does flabbergasted mean?

2. Why was Cody so upset when he came home from the park?

3. What made the bullies come back after Max scared them?

4. How do you know when an angel is near? How do you think Max knew an angel was close by?

5. Have you ever had to wait for a prayer to be answered? What was that prayer?

The Special Little Sports Car is a vibrant picture book perfect for children ages infant to 8 years old and parents, grandparents, teachers, libraries, and classroom or Sunday school story times to encourage discussions about faith, bullying, and prayer. With the book's eternal perspective, both children and adults are encouraged to remember that with God, ALL things ARE possible (Matthew 19:26).
