A chapter book retelling the story of Jonah who felt down about his situation and tried to hide away. But God cares and never gave up on Jonah. God was always there to talk to and help him. A reassuring story to help older children reflect and talk to people they trust about Jonah's emotions and support available to them when they feel sad, including help from God. The 'God cares' series provides a Biblical approach to discussing emotions and behaviour with children to nurture an attitude of wellness. Children at different ages approach things differently in their stages of emotional development, so this series works at two different levels: illustrated Readers aimed at 5-7 year olds and Chapter books aimed at 8+ years. Please note that children progress at different reading abilities and stages of emotional development so the age ranges are only a guide for parents and carers. The Bible stories are retold reflecting on the emotions and encourages children to discuss and relate this within their situations. Sections at the back provide a reflective space for children and practical advice for parents and carers. Debbie Duncan, author of The Art of Daily Resilience and Brave, is a nurse and a teacher, and mother of four children. She has considerable insight into what constitutes resilience and bravery: the ability to cope, to stay on course, to bounce back. In her books she considers what is required for physical, mental, and spiritual durability, interweaving biblical teaching, prayers, with personal anecdote and sound advice. This she now applies specifically to support parents and carers raising children.

Connecting the emotional lives of children with stories from the Bible, Debbie Duncan uses the story of Jonah to show how God always cares about us.
Jonah ran away as he didn’t want to do what God asked him to, but because he felt guilty, resentful, and confused he also became sad and depressed. See how God was with him throughout, and worked in and through all these feelings and situations. God does the same in our lives today, too.
