About this book

9-year-old Abigail can’t sing, and she can’t dance. So when her friends start rehearsing a musical performance, Abigail feels very much left out and self-conscious. Isn’t she good at anything? Doesn’t anybody want to be her friend?

As Abigail sees what a wonderful friend Jesus is, it transforms her other friendships—and ...

(Review written for 'Abigail Series set')

These books are a great way for kids learning through an amazing author who shows reality and God's love all at the same time. To put it all in a nut shell never despair God is always there.
