Tuttle Stories is a wonderful collection of children's tales addressing the issues of friendship, loss, self-esteem, bullying - and much more - all seen through the eyes of colorfully illustrated animals. The book's messages are communicated in stories or parables, so everyone can understand and apply the lessons. In one tale, relating to 2 Corinthians: "Tuttle went away wondering, If the two birds had been willing to share, both would have had a decent breakfast, and both would have been satisfied. Yes, Tuttle reasoned that sharing was better than fighting, especially when it's all about a bug!" Children and adults will recognize challenges seen through different eyes, and happy endings are abundant through the book's inspirational thoughts. Tuttle Stories is a true delight!
