Kids will relate to Tony every step of the way-from eagerly rooting for Tony as he pursues his goal, to feeling disappointed with him after so many unsuccessful tries. When Tony is finally able to reach his goal thanks to an unexpected suggestion from Ms. Sandi, his incredible feeling of triumph will bring joy to the reader. A great way to instill in young hearts the importance of not only doing our best in the part we play, but also adjusting our focus and trusting God to do His part.

With a vibrantly illustrated, inviting cover and an exciting story inside, this book is an excellent teaching tool for parents, grandparents, educators, Sunday school teachers, etc. who want the young ones in their care to understand the value of being still in God's presence.

This Biblically based message is designed to bring hope and encouragement to readers of all ages through the thought-provoking Author's Notes to Adults and the Questions for Kids at the end of the story. A short, written prayer provides an opportunity for older readers and younger listeners to connect by praying together, or it can also be used independently by older children reading to themselves.

While the teaching itself spans all ages, the exceptional illustrations and intriguing narrative will be especially enjoyed by children ages 2-8.
