GOD, I FEEL SCARED Book Review
“Scared happens to us all, and that’s okay. But God doesn’t want you to stay afraid.” This is the theme in the picture book GOD, I FEEL SCARED (Zonderkidz, p.30). Three weeks ago, Hurricane Helene caused more destruction than anyone expected. As it swept through communities, it left behind inconceivable devastation and fear. Sadly, my daughter and her family experienced this in their Black Mountain/Swannanoa Valley community. Thankfully, they and their home are okay. Or, as she says, “We’re okay, but we’re not okay.” If your family has been affected by recent storms—figuratively or literally—then consider reading together GOD, I FEEL SCARED.
