It is a very exciting day in the house of the Millers. Suzy’s cousin, Deliah, is visiting them.

She brought her lucky charm along so it will protect her.

A Bit Heavy for Young Children

This is a very straightforward faith lesson and this story would be very useful for if your own child may have come into experience of having belief in a lucky item or such. Though, I found it a bit heavy in context and condescending for young children, I worry if some children would feel extreme emotions if they made a similar error. I feel it is definitely more appropriate for age 6 and above, My 3 year old lost understanding quite quickly and couldn't keep up with the story within the story. Again, this would be a useful tool in correcting an error for an older child . A good listen as an audiobook in the car and a follow up conversation while driving.
