Tori Comes Out of Her Shell

Description

Tori Comes Out of Her Shell helps children remember that Jesus is always our greatest friend and sees us when we feel all alone.

Tori the turtle feels all alone. She has just moved to a new pond with her family and it seems like everyone has a friend at her new school except for her. When her teacher, Miss Minnick, notices Tori feels alone, she helps her remember Jesus is always her friend and encourages her not to be scared about meeting new people. When Tori finds another lonely classmate on the playground, she feels brave enough to come out of her shell and make a new friend.

Edited by counselor Jayne V. Clark, Tori Comes Out of Her Shell offers concrete, grace-based help for overcoming loneliness 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.
