Tilley and the Shining Star

Tilley is having trouble at school. The kids tease her and her new friend Judd because they do something at lunchtime that no one else does: they pray. As the teasing grows more unbearable, Tilley’s dreams of a kingdom with a shining star turn to nightmares, and the shining star begins to grow dim. What can she do to stop the kids from their hurtful bullying? How can she and Judd pray in peace?


After many years of reading scripture, Mary Harvey was led by the Holy Spirit to write this book so that young children today might be comforted by talking to Jesus through prayer. No matter what, the strength and light of His love for us will never dim.
