EXCERPT
Lucy and little Rosie whizzed past Papa Joe down the hallway, scrambling to make a sharp turn into Lucy’s bedroom.
“Is everything okay?” Papa Joe called out.
An explosive thunder clap boomed behind him, shaking the hallway walls. At the same time, a high-pitched squeal echoed from the bedroom. Another summer thunderstorm. This was not unusual for this part of the South, but Lucy was unusually afraid of them.
It seemed to bother her new puppy, too.
Papa Joe’s scooter wheels screeched as he turned the corner into Lucy’s room. It was dark, but he could see two heads popping out from under the covers.
“Lucy, it’s okay to feel afraid; just remember that God is with you, and He protects you,” Papa Joe said, trying to comfort her.
“I know. It’s just that Rosie doesn’t like thunderstorms.”
Papa Joe held back a chuckle as he scooted to the window and opened the curtains. “Well, look at that, Lucy. The storm has died down already, and look what’s in its place. A rainbow!”

This colorful picture book is filled with scripture, love, and wisdom that will appeal to children and adults of all ages . . .
The warm, loving relationship between seven-year-old Lucy and her grandfather, Papa Joe, is evident from the first page of this story. When Lucy and her puppy, Rosie, are frightened by a noisy thunderstorm, they run to her bedroom and dive under the covers to get away from the noise. Papa Joe follows them on his scooter so he can assist them.
When a rainbow soon breaks through the clouds, he draws Lucy's attention to the beauty of God's special promise—the rainbow. Without prompting, she retrieves the family Bible and brings it back to her bedroom and hands it to her grandfather.
As he reads the story of Noah and the Ark aloud, Lucy settles in to listen and pictures the action in her mind. The illustrations in this section cause the Bible story come alive with color, action, and onomatopoeias such as bang, thud, rumble, splosh, etc.
The Back Matter is one of my favorite parts of this book. It includes a Scripture about courage, a list of eight Bible promises, and seven follow-up questions that open the door for a further discussion.
I received a copy of this book from the author through JustRead Publicity Tours. All of my thoughts and opinions shared here are solely my own.
