Shawn and His Amazing Shrinking Sister : A Book about Teasing (Teaching Children to Use Their Words Wisely)

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.
