Reach for this book when your child is struggling with self-control, frustration, or the heavy weight of 'being good.' It is an ideal resource for moments when a child feels overwhelmed by their own mistakes or temper and needs a spiritual framework to understand their intrinsic worth and internal strength. The story follows Kenisha, a young girl who becomes increasingly frustrated with her toys and her own behavior. After reflecting on her Sunday School lessons, she discovers a profound truth: she carries a piece of God inside her that contains all the patience, love, and goodness she needs to navigate life. This gentle narrative helps children ages 4 to 8 move past shame and toward self-regulation by framing 'good behavior' as an internal resource rather than an external set of rules. It is a comforting choice for families looking to integrate Christian values with emotional intelligence and character development.
