Synopsis

Tomas Turtle starts his day thinking more about himself than others. Not only is he annoyed that his sister Tori's cough kept him awake, but he also brags to all of his friends about his successes. It's not until he gets sick and his friends take care of him that Tomas learns to look up to God and out to others.

Edited by counselor Alasdair Groves, Tomas Looks Up and Out offers concrete, grace-based help for growing in empathy and is part of the Good News for Little Hearts series, which brings gospel wisdom and biblical counsel to families. Based on CCEF's model of hope and help, each story focuses on an animal family's real-life issues, encouraging young readers toward a growing relationship with Jesus during challenging circumstances.

  • A special section at the end of the book guides parents in having meaningful conversations with their kids about empathy and considering others, based on biblical truth.
  • Children ages four to seven will be captivated by Joe Hox's colorful, fun illustrations that bring the animal world to life.
  • Teaches children and parents how to apply God's Word to the everyday problem of not considering others.
