Zoe’s Hiding Place: When You Are Anxious (Good News for Little Hearts)

Zoe’s Hiding Place invites children to remember the Lord is near whenever they are anxious and afraid. Zoe is worried about a class trip to the art museum because the last time they went, the group left her behind. She’s afraid that might happen again, so heads to her favorite hiding place underneath her purple quilt. As she talks with her parents, Zoe realizes she can turn to God for help. Papa Mouse gives her a verse from the “Great Book” that she can read when she is afraid. She learns to turn each fear into a prayer, remembering that Jesus is always near–her refuge in times of trouble–a better refuge than even her purple quilt. Edited by David Powlison, Zoe’s Hiding Place offers concrete, grace-based help for overcoming anxiety and is part of the Good News for Little Hearts series, which brings gospel wisdom and biblical counsel to families. Based on CCEF’s model of hope and help, each story focuses on an animal family’s real-life issues, encouraging young readers toward a growing relationship with Jesus during challenging circumstances. A special section at the end of the book guides parents in having important conversations with their kids about seeking comfort for fear and anxiety, based on biblical truth. Children ages four to seven will be captivated by Joe Hox’s colorful, fun illustrations that bring the animal world to life. Teaches children and parents how to apply God’s Word to the everyday challenges of fear and anxiety.
