Tweaky and Solomon — Betty Ward Cain

Tweaky, the hummingbird, is a fictional character who helps make the Bible story of Solomon come alive. Sing Tweaky's song and read his story and then read the true story from the Bible in I Kings 1:32-40; 2:1-3; 3:5-14. As you know, Tweaky is a fictional character that is not in the Bible, but Tweaky enhances this story. The Biblical account doesn't say a lot about Solomon and how he felt as a child when told he would be the next king. I'm sure he must have felt unprepared for such a big job. He didn't want wealth or fame, but just to be able to do a good job as the king, so he asked for wisdom. What would you ask God for if he were to ask what you desire? I hope I can be like Solomon and ask for some way to help others. Your child will enjoy Tweaky's story. As they sing his song, Tweaky becomes a comfort to them. What better way to get children interested in reading the Bible than through getting involved in the Bible story. They will want to read the true account from the Bible and learn about Solomon. They will want other books about Tweaky and children from the Bible. Start a collection for you and your child -- you will want the whole set.
