Gracie Lou Wants a Zoo

By Shelly Roark

Description:

Gracie Lou wants nothing more for her pet turtle, George, than for him to have friends. But Mom and Dad insist that their city apartment is too small to house a monkey, or a duck, or a giraffe, or an elephant. They say she needs to be patient and trust in God's plan, except Gracie Lou's not sure she can wait that long. After a wild night spent with a houseful of rowdy zoo animals, Gracie Lou learns that God has a great plan for her . . . if she can just wait for it!

Book Takeaway:

God has a great plan for your life. Be patient. Trust Him.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote Gracie Lou Wants a Zoo to help children understand that God has a perfect plan for their lives in His timing. My prayer is that it teaches them a little about patience and trusting God's plan.
