Mrs Bubbles' Double Trouble

Who here wouldn’t want to live inside a bubble, joined with lots of animals that include a talking Toucan who can spout the gospel?


This would describe the life of Mrs. Bubbles, a “glorious gram” who lives with her animals, flowers and trees in her cherished homeland of Bubble Land. 


However, in Shirley Suedkamp’s poetic children’s story, Mrs. Bubbles’s Double Trouble, Mrs. Bubbles is about to take a trip that will not only take her to places she has never been before, but to people she wouldn’t want to encounter even in Bubble Land. 


A freak wind pushes Mrs. Bubbles’s home, with Mrs. Bubbles and her Toucan Kaymus inside, into adjoining lands that aren’t as friendly to outsiders as she would like. No one is willing to lend a hand to help, rather pushing her away and telling her she doesn’t belong there.


Where they will land next Mrs. Bubbles does not know, but inside she believes that this journey is part of God’s work to help her reach others, just as He did with Jesus.


Readers young and old will enjoy this whimsical tale of adventure, with its several unique characters, but will appreciate most learning the ways God can be involved in our thoughts and actions. 


No one knows what God has in store for any of us, but the hope is that where we “land” next on our journeys in life, God will make sure that we will all be changed for the better.
