Otter B Free
$12.99Add to cartOtter B Free is the ninth book in a series of children’s books intended to teach young children basic biblical character traits.
In Free, Otter B and his friends are practicing for the Fourth of July Field Day when they learn that Felicia the fox broke her leg and won’t be able to compete. At first Otter B is excited by his chances at winning the Field Day trophy, but a conversation with Daddy about our God-given freedoms gives Otter B an idea: Instead of trying to win by himself, Otter B and his friends work as a team to earn the trophy. Otter B learns that true freedom includes choosing to help, love, and care about others.
Each book in the series includes a relevant Bible verse and ends with a fun rhyme that reinforces the lesson:
“Being independent means
That you are truly free:
Free to help, to love and care.
It’s how you Otter Be!”
What Do I Do With Anger
$14.99Add to cartAlex is angry. During practice before the big game, his teammate Emma won’t pass him the ball–and then she has the nerve to pass it to Sam! Thankfully, Coach Ryan understands plenty about anger. When Alex reveals his irritation in an unhealthy way, Coach Ryan has biblical tools and wisdom that will help Alex calm his anger and identify the underlying emotion beneath it so he can rejoin the team.
Psychologists have long labeled anger a “secondary emotion.” It’s there to cover up other negative feelings such sadness, betrayal, and embarrassment. Dr. Josh and Christi Straub want children to understand that being angry is not a bad thing: we can express our anger in healthy ways, and we can use it to help us figure out what we’re struggling with deep down. What Do I Do with Anger? models this approach to anger in a fun and relatable way for children, ages 4-8.

Little Kiki is an aspiring author and illustrator who weaves daring tales about swashbuckling otters, all-knowing sea cucumbers, and nail-biting rescues from the clutches of gerblins (part gerbil, part goblin). But where do her imagination, creativity, and ideas come from?
Meet God, the author of all stories. He writes adventurous tales such as Esther Saves Her Family and Friends, Jesus and the Tomb that Couldn’t Hold Him, and the Story of Kiki.Kiki loves to write but sometimes she forgets to include important pieces (like the time she forgot to give the ship’s cook a kitchen).

Children and parents alike will delight in the playful illustrations, imaginative side stories, and the gentle reminder that the image of God is alive in each of us.
