Publisher Description
This version of the Precious Package from the Heartwood Tales Collection, is slimmed down compared to the Interactive and Read-Along Editions also available on Apple Books.
During a time where children's storybooks cease to stimulate the imagination, provoke the mind to morals, and stir the heart in reflection, Heartwood Tales creatively borrows from real life scenarios, while allowing the character to feel the weight of the choices they've made in order to "grow taller."
The Imagery of trees is a purposeful one. Not only do trees continue to grow taller throughout the various seasons of life, but also the "Heartwood" is the core... or the "heart" a the tree.
Although the growth of a tree is generally determined by its height, the “Heartwood’s” by name, place the emphasis back on the inside. 1Cor. 7:14 is the inspiration to this story. As a result, there are many lessons to be learned from discovering the worth found in simple jars of clay.
To name a few: Not judging a book by its cover, reading the labels of life, not acting impulsively, valuing the family God’s entrusted to us, living unselfishly for the sake of caring for what matters within.
Although the fictitious characters were inspired by our real life family, in this fantasy world, "Ruffles" (Our daughter's favorite stuffed animal) comes alive to to help reinforce the lesson of caring for others. May this story bless you as it's blessed us. It's quickly become a festive classic bedtime story!
