Little Mustard Seed Stories
Title of series: “The Little Mustard Seed Stories”
Subtitle: “Planting Little Seeds for Big Growth” Author: Cheryl Scanlan Illustrator: Patricia Collins Broun Contact: info@wayoflifecoaching.com Tested on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders with great success. The plots engage and hold children interest with brief vivid descriptions and just enough repetition as they journey across their backyards, climb up mountains, trek through forests, wade rushing waters and even float in the clouds. The series leverages the innate curious engagement a child has with nature to encourage the development of "Young Explorers" - learners about God’s creation and "Worshipers" – beholders of the wonder and glory of God Himself. The verses opening each story assist parents with understanding the Scriptural Truth behind each story while the science lessons available as free downloads assist parents with exploring the nature element. |
