This colorful, beautifully illustrated children's book invites children ages three through eight into Halle Hedgehog's world to learn alongside her how Jesus gives her courage to take a stand against meanness.
Halle Hedgehog has a group of school friends she sits with at lunch and plays with at recess. One day, the whole group excludes another girl and decides to be mean to her. This bothers Halle, but she doesn't say anything because she doesn't want to be excluded, too. Halle's teacher Mr. Owl talks to her about who she really needs to fit in with, and how she can speak out against bullying because Jesus is with her.
Parents and children will learn concrete, grace-based ways to deal with the pressures of fitting in. Edited by Paul David Tripp, *Halle Takes a Stand* ends with a special section that guides parents in teaching their children to respond with faith when fear or the overwhelming desire to fit in takes hold in their hearts.
*Halle Takes a Stand* is part of the Good News for Little Hearts series, bringing gospel help and biblical counsel to families. Based on CCEF's model of hope and help, each story focuses on an animal family's real-life issues, encouraging young readers toward a growing relationship with Jesus in the midst of challenging circumstances. Each individual story guides parents toward meaningful conversations with their kids, based on what Scripture has to say about living by faith in everyday life.
By providing biblical help and hope to issues every child faces through vivid illustrations and a story based on a different animal family, even the youngest child will be engaged. Each story offers practical ways to follow Jesus in difficult situations. Instead of a moralistic message, young readers are encouraged to develop a real relationship with the God who cares for them.
*Halle Takes a Stand*, along with all of the Good News for Little Heartsbooks, will become a lifelong gift for parents and children, as well as teachers, biblical counselors, and anyone hoping to provide concrete, grace-based help for young children. *Halle Takes a Stand* is illustrated by Joe Hox and edited by Paul David Tripp.

Halle Takes a Stand: When You Want to Fit in (Good News For Little Hearts Series)$22.99
As part of the CCEF's biblical counselling series for kids books - which tackle everyday issues and encourage parent-child interactions - this book focuses on the difficult issue of peer pressure and bullying to fit in; it teaches children, through animal families, to stand up for what's right even if you won't fit in or be popular with others, to develop compassion for those who are deemed outcasts of our everyday lives and show mercy to those who encourage us to do wrong - ultimately, to be like Jesus.

Beautiful example of dealing with peer pressure
I love the Good news for little hearts series, and would highly recommend all of them for kids aged 4-8 years old. This one deals with peer pressure, and I could relate so clearly with the main character's actions. The way she then shows love to both the friend she was mean to and the bully who encouraged her be unkind, was really lovely, and something I really want my children to learn!
