This TGC Kids Book Introduces Children to the Dangers of Envy and the
Joy of Contentment
One Saturday morning, Lucy and her brother, Lewis, each get to choose
one piece of candy from the store. But Lucy's delight quickly disappears
when she unwraps her chocolate and discovers it melted! Envying her
brother's long-lasting lollipop, Lucy spirals into a pattern of
discontent: see, covet, take, and hide. Her envious actions make
her feel miserable, but her dad helps her find the path to freedom and
grace.
Everyone struggles with wanting what others have. Lucy and the Saturday
Surprise helps children understand the dangers of letting desire fester
into envy. Through colorful illustrations and engaging characters,
Lucy's story shows kids how to fight against envy and reminds us all
that Jesus offers freedom from both the penalty and power of sin. A TGC
