In Darcy Is Always First, children will learn how to show love and patience to their brothers and sisters, even when they annoy each other.

It doesn’t matter that Darcy Duck is only a few seconds older than Delia and Denny—Darcy thinks she should be first at everything. That means that the ducklings always end up fighting to get their turn. Hurt feelings and anger abound until one day when their grandparents fly in for a visit. That’s when Denny’s determination to be first, ahead of Darcy, almost ends in disaster. 

Edited by counselor Lauren Whitman, Darcy Always Goes First is part of the Good News for Little Hearts series that 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.

• A special section at the end of the book guides parents in having meaningful conversations with their kids about putting others first and living at peace with one another.
• Children ages four to eight will be captivated by Joe Hox’s colorful, fun illustrations that bring the animal world to life. 
• Teaches children and parents how to apply God’s Word to the inevitable occurrence of navigating sibling conflict.
