This TGC Kids Book Teaches Children That Their True Worth and Identity Are Found Only in Christ

Sonia dreams of being just as talented as the other kids in her class. Hoping to impress her teacher, she constructs a tower using blocks. As she imagines it growing taller and taller, she eventually incorporates books, a fire truck, boxes of crayons, and even a golden hamster! When she snaps back to reality, she is disappointed to find that her tower is not nearly as impressive as she had imagined. 

We all long to feel special. We seek recognition for our efforts and validation for who we are. This easy-to-understand story, with winsome language and colorful pictures, helps kids ages 3–7 understand that their value doesn’t come from the approval of others or the success of their actions but from the unconditional love of God in Christ. A TGC Kids book. 

  • Written for Kids Ages 3–7: Accessible story accompanied by colorful illustrations to keep kids engaged 
  • Teaches Kids an Important Life Lesson: Helps little ones understand their worth is not found in the approval of others but in the love of God in Christ
  • Includes a “Note to Kids” from the Author: Kathryn Butler helps young readers connect Sonia’s story and the message of the gospel to their own lives
  • TGC Kids Series: Teaches kids biblical truths while engaging their hearts and imaginations
