Synopsis:

Jax’s Tail Twitches is a warm, engaging story that helps young children learn how the gospel changes the way they respond when anger takes over.

When acorn gathering goes wrong, the whole Squirrel family finds themselves frustrated and out of sorts. As Papa, Mama, Jax, and Caspian each struggle with anger, children see how quickly disappointment can affect a whole family―but they also learn the grace-filled habits of saying sorry, asking forgiveness, remembering God’s Word, and praying together.

Part of the Good News for Little Hearts series, this beautifully illustrated hardback helps children ages four to seven understand that anger is not the end of the story. Edited by David Powlison, the book includes a special parent section and a tear-out page of Back Pocket Bible Verses, giving families practical tools to connect everyday frustrations with biblical truth and meaningful gospel conversations.

Everyone knew by his crooked hay rows that he would choose art over farming. Joe taught art for twelve years before becoming a full-time illustrator.
