When God Makes Scribbles Beautiful - Hardcover

Sometimes, hard things happen. Sometimes, they happen to children. According to the National Survey of Children's Health, over 34 million children have experienced one or more types of adverse childhood experiences or potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood.

Over time, he realizes that God is with him even though the scribble is there too. Eventually, God turns the boy's scribble into something beautiful: like a cloud in the sky or a steppingstone that leads him somewhere amazing.

Ultimately, When God Makes Scribbles Beautiful gives young readers spiritual encouragement to plant seeds of hope in the face of difficult childhood experiences.
