Maybe God Is Like That Too
By Jennifer Grant
The Story
A young boy asks his grandma where God is in their city, so she teaches him to look for kindness, patience, and love in the people around him.
Why It's Special
For families who talk about faith at home, this is a gentle way to make God feel present in everyday moments, not just distant or abstract.
- Big idea: God shows up in ordinary kindness, not just in church or in the sky.
- Vibes: Tender, quiet, and warmly spiritual.
Perfect For Kids Who
- are curious about where God is or what God looks like
- enjoy noticing small details in busy city scenes
- are learning about the fruit of the Spirit
- respond well to a grandparent's calm, patient guidance
