Charles wakes up one morning hungry and determined to face his fear. He has doubts and concerns that block his way to embracing all God made him to be, but with the help from his mother and a quiet, steady voice inside, Charles is able to do what he was created to do: swim and reach the fish.
As children develop and grow, they will face moments where they doubt their abilities, but so often, God has already equipped them with the right tools. They simply just need a nudge of encouragement and the faith to know God will help them accomplish every good work.
The questions at the end of this story are there to help any adult have a conversation with the children in their life that will acknowledge their fears and feelings, distinguish important people in their life, and enable them to name their special abilities, all while reinforcing the truth--that God is on their side.
