Children will be able to sympathize with Miles as he experiences a range of emotions, especially after the initial happy/carefree pages. And then they, along with Miles, will be pointed to our good Shepherd. The Shepherd answers Miles’ questions and comforts him dearly.
Honestly, I like it more every time I read it. There’s a perfect balance of the good, the scary and the biblical Truth to make it very relevant to each of our lives. And the pictures complete the package. Well done, New Growth Press, Darby, and Carlotta! We love this treasure of a book!
