    In Sammy and His Shepherd, veteran children’s writer Susan Hunt takes youngsters on a delightful trip through Psalm 23 from the point of view of a sheep named Sammy.Sammy lives happily under the care of his faithful shepherd. But one day he meets a sheep from another flock, one who lives in misery because her shepherd is not so caring. Eventually, to the delight of both of them, Sammy’s shepherd buys the needy little sheep for his flock and gives her a name―Precious. Thereafter, Sammy tells Precious all the wonderful things about their shepherd. At first, Precious has a hard time believing that the shepherd can be so good. But eventually, as she sees the shepherd pouring out his energies for the good of his flock, she comes to trust him, for she sees that he loves his sheep unconditionally and sacrificially.Each chapter of Sammy and His Shepherd is an exploration of a passage from Psalm 23. As they work through the book, children will grow in their understanding of the metaphors the psalmist used in composing this beloved poem. But more important, they will gain a deeper appreciation for the one who is the subject of the psalm: the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Captivating illustrations by Corey Godbey help Sammy and Precious come to life for children. A special section in the back of the book provides Bible passages, discussion questions, and activities to reinforce the lessons of each chapter.

    Riley has been asked to keep a very big secret by someone she loves and she is finding it really hard to cope. One day, Riley is brave enough to speak about what has been happening to her and how she feels about it. Our Secret is a storybook for children who have been through sexual harm and was written to provide children with the skills they need to protect themselves. This book also encourages children to always speak up if something goes wrong. This might sound like a story that children can't handle, but it's written in a way that is non-threatening for parents and children. Ideal for starting conversations about sexual harm, this is an essential resource for anybody supporting children aged 4-12 who may have been through similar experiences.
