Halle Takes a Stand: When You Want to Fit In (Good News for Little Hearts)

Halle Hedgehog has a group of school friends she sits with at lunch and plays with at recess. One day, the whole group excludes another girl and decides to be mean to her. This bothers Halle, but she doesn’t say anything because she doesn’t want to be excluded, too. Halle’s teacher Mr. Owl talks to her about who she really needs to fit in with, and how she can speak out against bullying because Jesus is with her.

Edited by Paul David Tripp, Halle Takes a Stand offers concrete, grace-based help for dealing with the pressures of fitting in 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 teaching their children to respond with faith when fear or the overwhelming desire to fit in takes hold in their hearts.
• 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 problems of peer pressure and wanting to fit in.
