Description
Tori Comes Out of Her Shell helps children remember that Jesus is always our greatest friend and sees us when we feel all alone.
Tori the turtle feels all alone. She has just moved to a new pond with her family and it seems like everyone has a friend at her new school except for her. When her teacher, Miss Minnick, notices Tori feels alone, she helps her remember Jesus is always her friend and encourages her not to be scared about meeting new people. When Tori finds another lonely classmate on the playground, she feels brave enough to come out of her shell and make a new friend.
Edited by counselor Jayne V. Clark, Tori Comes Out of Her Shell offers concrete, grace-based help for overcoming loneliness and is part of the Good News for Little Hearts series, which 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 the fear of rejection and making new friends.
- Children ages four to seven 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 everyday problem of feeling lonely.

"These books are a uniquely different genre from classic children's bedtime reading. They are counseling books to help children. They provide a creative avenue for children to consider how their faith is intimately relevant to their struggles. This is what makes this series of books so significant."
David Powlison, (1949Ð2019) was Executive Director of CCEF and editor of the Good News for Little Hearts series
"When our children were little, we read to them constantly and had these books been available, they would have been among the favorites. With the simplicity and engaging charm of the Peter Rabbit stories, yet with the quiet grace of Christian insight, these stories stamp themselves on young minds. Text and pictures support each other tellingly. These books are destined to become favorites for young families."
D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical School, Deerfield, IL; cofounder of The Gospel Coalition
"I love these books. My daughter Kim who struggles with a disability loves these books. She giggles all the way through them catching all the subtle humor. I read them to my grandkids. We especially love the drawings. I buy copies for all my grandchildren. What more can I say? They are fun!"
