About This Book

A Story of Inspiration, Compassion, Kindness, and Forgiveness. Eric is a little boy who is excited because, after Sunday School, he and his family are going to "Fun Land" for a picnic and to ride rides. "After lunch, he and his dad got in line to ride the roller coaster. While Eric waited, he started to open his giant gold egg to eat the chocolate that was inside. "That's cool!" the little boy behind him said. Then suddenly the boy grabbed the egg away from Eric. Eric tried to grab it back, but

Our Review

This engaging picture book thoughtfully explores Christian virtues through a relatable childhood scenario, following a young boy's emotional journey after another child snatches his special chocolate egg. The story captures that immediate sting of unfairness children feel so deeply, then gently guides readers toward understanding compassion and forgiveness. Young listeners will connect with Eric's roller coaster of emotions as he processes this upsetting moment at the amusement park.

What makes this religious education book particularly effective is how it transforms a simple conflict into a meaningful lesson about grace and kindness, showing children how to navigate hurt feelings with spiritual wisdom. Parents seeking faith-based stories that address real social challenges will appreciate how this narrative demonstrates turning the other cheek in an age-appropriate way. The resolution leaves children with a comforting message about the freedom that comes from forgiveness.
