How Kids Can Learn Humility From The Moon

Kids are proud and exuberant little people. "Watch this!" is a favorite phrase for children as they seek praise for their latest accomplishment, be it propelling off the couch in a Superman cape or doing 50 skips on a jump rope.

Certainly, there's a healthy dose of enthusiasm that's good for children as they explore their abilities. But it's important that as kids discover new capabilities and talents, they realize that all of their skills and energies come from God.

Kristi and T. Lively Fluhartys' Fool Moon Rising tells the story of the moon and explains how his proud heart is made humble.

• The moon begins with great pride in his ability light up the night, control the tides, and draw astronauts to visit him.
• Eventually, his pride is checked when he realizes that he gets all of his light from the sun.
• The moon begins to boast of the sun, his source of light and power, rather than boast of himself.

Fool Moon Rising is a fun and colorful way to teach kids that their talents come from God. It's illustrative of how recognizing the greatness of God can turn pride into humility, making faithful followers want to boast of the Lord's greatness rather than their own.
