Opis

In the title story of Eugenia Gloria Kaitell's God's Favorite Toy, a loving king is faced with a troubling problem: the music director, jealous of the king's position, has decided to rebel. He's stomping and smashing the king's toys But the king and his son have a plan to rescue the toys-no matter the cost. This story is a perfect picture of the gospel, and it's a fitting introduction to this collection of eight African tales celebrating God's love. In the tradition of folktales, Kaitell spins imaginative and thought-provoking explanations for the things we observe in the natural world. Why do agama lizards nod as they walk? It's because they're grateful to God, as a little girl named Mansa learns. The pattern of cracks on Tamba the turtle's shell teaches about apologizing and humility. In "Jesus Is Coming," a songbird's joyful melody shows that all of creation praises God-but it also reminds us that we have a job to do. Meant to inspire children of all ages, these tales describe how we respond once we realize we're God's "favorite toys." His love tugs on our hearts and leads us to see His hand all around us.
