A faith-filled picture book that helps young children pause before acting, pray for help, and choose what is right.
 
Lily the Lamb cannot wait for the picnic at Lemon Hill. Leo Lemon has set out twelve sweet lemon-swirl cakes and asks Lily to help with the napkins while leaving the treats in place.
 
But the cakes smell delicious. Lily’s tummy rumbles. Before she acts, Leo teaches her a simple practice:
 
Pause. Think. Pray. Choose what is right.
 
Soon Simon Squirrel races into the pavilion and bumps the lemonade pitcher. When sticky lemonade splashes Lily’s wool, she wants to stomp and shout. Once again, she pauses, asks Jesus for help, and chooses calm, honest words. Together they clean the spill.
 
Later Lily waits her turn and takes only one cake, leaving enough for everyone. Her example helps Simon stop before taking a second.
 
In Lily the Lamb and Leo Lemon, children ages 1-6 are gently introduced to self-control 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 see how self-control can guide their words, actions, and choices.
 
Rooted in Galatians 5:22-23, this Christian picture book is ideal 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 remember this simple truth:
 
Jesus helps us pause, and His Spirit helps self-control grow in our hearts.
