GoodBookStall Review:
Each story of the series is also available as a free online film with the story read by Bear Grylls and there are pages with help for parents at the back of the book. The price of book includes postage from publisher.
Josh has to stay in hospital much longer than Maya in another title of this series. He is used to hospital but this time he is scared. He has learnt an action song at holiday club about Jesus helping his friends, and when he meets Chloe at the hospital, who is more frightened than he is, she teaches her the song and cheers both of them up. Josh and Chloe become friends and this helps them both, When Josh is told he can’t go home for Christmas he is very cross but Chloe helps him come to terms with it. A charming story .
Simply but effectively illustrated to accompany the carefully chosen words.
