There, he is discovered by a gruff but loveable penguin named Malarkey. Once he has nursed Albert back to health, Malarkey tells Albert to find the King and ask why he was brought here.This simple, straightforward quest on which Malarkey sends Albert turns out to be, well, malarkey.

God Has More Than One Name?
Children ask a lot of questions! Some are simple: "Can I go outside?" "What's for dinner?" But some are really difficult to respond to in simple terms like, "Why is the sky blue?" Or, "Where did God come from?"Most of the time, we can answer their questions without giving it a second thought. And sometimes their questions are more thought-provoking.This book is the result of that scenario where my grandson asked, "Why did you call God Lord?" It was a simple question, and I answered it simply by saying, "God has many names." And God does have more than one name, right? He's our Jehovah, Creator, Healer, etc. I felt prompted to write this book because of his question.This book is to help children learn more about the names, character, love, and kindness of God in different circumstances that they can relate to. Hopefully, it will help them to find out who God is and challenge them to explore and find themselves within the pages of the Bible.

Anyone who looks at their reflection with disappointment or compares themselves to others will identify with Tea Pot. The author's warm illustrations beautifully enhance this charming allegory about service and love. A valuable teaching tool for parents and educators, The Tea Pot is a simple yet profound story about giving away what "The Potter" creates through us.The Story of The Little Pot Continues.Children need help understanding that the fruit they bear is something God grows in them to give to others. We can wrongly think that we possess things like love, joy, or patience instead of it being something we give to others. In this sequel to "The Little Pot," the potter forms a new vessel called Tea Pot. As pride and selfishness grow instead of the fruit of the Spirit, Tea Pot and Little Pot discover that the only way to fulfill their creator's purpose is to give of themselves willingly. Children discover God's forgiveness and unconditional love through this allegory as the potter prunes Little Pot's dead leaves and washes Tea Pot clean. The pots become even more eager to bear fruit and serve others as their creator intended.
