A faith-filled picture book that helps young children discover what faithfulness looks like in everyday life.
Lily the Lamb is delighted to visit Avocado Grove, where Alvin Avocado cares for the young trees every morning. When he asks Lily to water the smallest sapling, she gladly promises to help. But one game in the clover becomes many, and the little tree is left waiting in the warm sun.
With Alvin’s gentle help, Lily learns that faithfulness does not mean never stumbling. Because Jesus forgives, she can tell the truth, return to her task, and begin again with the Spirit’s help.
Faithfulness keeps showing up, steady and true.
In Lily the Lamb and Alvin Avocado, children ages 1–6 are gently introduced to faithfulness as one beautiful way the Holy Spirit grows the fruit of the Spirit in us. Through simple rhyming couplets, bright storybook illustrations, and a tender child-friendly lesson, young readers will see how faithfulness can be practiced in ways they understand.
Inside, children will discover that faithfulness can look like:
- keeping a promise
- showing up each day
- finishing an important job
- choosing responsibility before play
- telling the truth after a mistake
- returning and beginning again
Rooted in Galatians 5:22–23, this Christian picture book is perfect for parents, grandparents, teachers, Sunday school classrooms, preschool ministries, bedtime reading, and faith-filled gifts.
Open the pages and help the little ones you love learn this simple truth:
God is always faithful. Jesus forgives us, and His Spirit helps us keep showing up, steady and true.
