Book Description: 

Blaze, Hensley, Hoo, Cubby, and Flora love living in the Friendly Forest! So when a big storm brings big changes, these little critters band together to help rebuild their community and save their home. But they are also about to discover that the biggest—and best—change is what happens in their minds and hearts.

Every day, kids can read one chapter, which includes:
a short story about the forest friends' adventures and challenges
a key Bible verse to connect the story to God's Word
reflection questions to help kids apply the day's lesson to their lives
a truth statement for kids to hold on to after the reading
a brief prayer to invite kids to have conversations with God

Adventures in the Friendly Forest teaches kids that God is with them through all of life’s ups and downs—and that some changes might mean they are growing into exactly who God created them to be.
