A faith-filled picture book that helps young children discover what patience looks like when waiting feels hard.
 
Lily the Lamb is ready to continue her adventure with Gregory Grape when they discover a stream blocking their way. Benny Beaver is building a bridge across the water, one careful stick at a time.
 
Lily wishes he would hurry.
 
Gregory gently reminds her that some good things take time. As Lily watches Benny work, she begins to notice the care he puts into every stick. Soon she is no longer thinking only about how long she has to wait. She is learning how to wait well.
 
Patience is waiting with trust and a gentle heart.
 
In Lily the Lamb and Gregory Grape, children ages 1–6 are gently introduced to patience 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 that patience is not simply standing still until they get what they want.
 
Inside, children will discover that patience can look like:
waiting without fussing 
staying calm when something takes time 
speaking kindly while they wait 
giving others time to do things carefully 
helping without rushing 
trusting when they cannot make something happen faster
 
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.
