Shawn and His Amazing Shrinking Sister is a playful, eye-opening story that helps families understand how teasing hurts others and how God calls us to use our words to build one another up.
Shawn and Annie are looking forward to a family camping trip, but things quickly go sideways when teasing takes over. After watching Mom and Dad joke at each other’s expense, Shawn begins teasing Annie too—and each unkind comment makes her shrink a little smaller. As the problem grows harder to ignore, the whole family begins to see how hurtful teasing can be and how easily children can learn it from the people around them.
Written by bestselling author Ginger Hubbard with Al Roland, this imaginative story gives parents a clear way to talk with children about the heart behind teasing and the better path of kindness, repentance, and forgiveness in Jesus. With a parent resource page that includes biblical guidance and practical suggestions, Shawn and His Amazing Shrinking Sister helps families address everyday speech habits with truth, grace, and hope.
"Shawn and His Amazing Shrinking Sister is an engaging story that will resonate with children and generate discussion about the power of words, teasing, and forgiveness. Here is a beautiful book to help children learn to guard against unwholesome talk. The section about helping your child with teasing is worth the price of the book! I highly recommend you pick up a copy."
Dr. Josh Mulvihill, Executive Director of Church and Family Ministry at Renewanation
"The words we use matter more than we know. Shawn and His Amazing Shrinking Sister will not only delight readers with its whimsical rhyme but will also teach them about the power of forgiveness and the deep theological truths of Ephesians four."

"As a longtime fangirl of Ginger Hubbard's books, I was absolutely delighted to get a hold of this fun, engaging, thought-provoking, and beautifully illustrated new book series for children. Ginger has a way with words and, as in all of her writing, she focuses on the most important thing, pointing our children to their need for a Savior! These books are sure to be dearly loved for generations to come."

"While character training in children cannot regenerate the heart, it does shape it. As a result, good parenting will both speak the gospel and shape the will. I am delighted to see this new series of children's books by Ginger Hubbard and Al Roland does both. Parents and grandparents will find these a fun and engaging help as they seek to disciple the hearts of their children."
Chap Bettis, Author of The Disciple-Making Parent and other resources for the family
"As a parent, I need all the help I can get in assisting my children to see the need to control their words and actions. The Teaching Children to Use Their Words Wisely series is a welcomed resource to help children see the benefits of choosing wise behavior."
Israel Wayne, author and conference speaker. Founder of Family Renewal
"These fun, rhyming stories captivate children's attention while shining a light on their sinful speech and its consequences. They convict children and parents! of the seriousness of their sin, but these are far more than moral tales. They point to the grace of the gospel and the wonder of forgiveness that come only through Jesus. There is great wisdom and great hope within these pages."
