Best Buddies and the Fruit of the Spirit

Krista and DeDe have always been best buddies. When Krista was born her Mommy put DeDe in the crib with her and the relationship between the two bloomed. Best Buddies: And the Fruit of the Spirit is a collection of nine individual stories that correspond with each of the nine Fruits of the Spirit mentioned in the Bible. In each story a little girl named Krista encounters a situation she doesn’t understand and talks it over with her favorite bear and best buddy, DeDe. DeDe in his wisdom helps Krista resolve the issue by illustrating it with one of the Fruit. The collection teaches children the importance of such things as accepting people as they are, keeping promises, obeying parents, eating vegetables, fastening seatbelts, good manners, and controlling the tongue. It contains storylines about the mentally and physically handicapped, the deaf, how to handle scary situations, and the neighborhood bully. These are lessons that every child should learn at an early age. This book is a must for every child’s library.Rushford, Betty is the author of 'Best Buddies and the Fruit of the Spirit', published 2003 under ISBN 9781592867462 and ISBN 1592867464.
