These Aren't Oranges! — Susan Marie

These Aren't Oranges! is a story of disappointment about unexpected changes. When life throws us a curve ball, we can become angry or pout, we can focus our attention on our disappointment, or we can sit back and praise God for blessing us! When we remember to be grateful, our eyes soon change their focus and begin to see a whole world of gifts before us.

The main characters in the story are Jacob and his single widowed father. Jacob is a preschool-aged little boy whose favorite thing to do is spend time with his father and eat delicious foods. Together they learn to embrace God's wonderful goodness, even when a beloved orange tree suddenly and unexpectedly produces a crop of apples.

These Aren't Oranges! is the first book in the author's new series, so be on the lookout for more books to follow. Additionally, every book closes with Bible verses to help children remember God's amazing love for us and His never-ending goodness.
