This TGC Kids Book Introduces Children to the Dangers of Envy and the Joy of Contentment

One exciting Saturday morning, Lucy and her brother Lewis are each allowed to pick out a piece of candy from the store. But when Lucy unwraps her chocolate, her delight quickly disappears. It melted! Growing envious of her brother’s perfectly intact lollipop, Lucy spirals into a pattern of discontent: see, covet, take, and hide. While her envious actions make her feel all the more miserable, a talk with her dad helps her find the path to freedom and grace. 

Everyone struggles with wanting what others have, and kids are no exception. Lucy and the Saturday Surprise helps children understand the dangers of letting desire fester into envy. Through colorful illustrations and engaging text, this picture book encourages contentment while offering practical solutions to help kids when temptation is too great, reminding us all that Jesus offers freedom from both the penalty and power of sin. A TGC Kids book.
