Self-identity is forged in the early childhood years. Lay a foundation of biblical wisdom with the child-friendly example of Fay Ray.

Fay Ray and the Little Brother Who Stole the Show

Fay Ray loves using her talents and beauty to entertain and amaze the Aquarium visitors. But when her tiny baby brother ray is born, suddenly all eyes are on him instead of her. This jolt of inattention is uncomfortable for Fay, and she turns to her community for help.

Unfortunately, their attempts to enhance her outward appearance don't work at all. The beautiful shells fall off, the seaweed embellishment drifts away, and there's no way to lengthen her wings by pulling on them! Fay is stuck with the way she is. And no one seems to care about Fay at all now that all eyes are on her little brother.

Fay finds solace in the gentle words of her mother who reminds her that God made her special for a unique purpose. It's right that her baby brother get attention right now because he's a newborn. As Fay's jealousy is erased through God's truth, the story ends with a sweet brother-sister moment.
