Shawn and His Amazing Shrinking Sister: A Book About Teasing gives parents guidance for ending teasing while teaching children how to build one another up.
Shawn and Annie are excited for a family camping trip, but trouble awaits when teasing starts at home. After Shawn sees Mom and Dad teasing one another, he begins to tease Annie. Each time Shawn is unkind, Annie becomes a little smaller. As Annie shrinks, the family learns how teasing can hurt others and how unkind words dishonor God.
Authors Ginger Hubbard and Al Roland use the shrinking-sister storyline and bright illustrations by Veronika Kotyk to present a memorable picture for children about the effects of teasing. The story points families toward repentance, forgiveness through Jesus, and kinder communication. A parent resource page provides a biblical framework and practical suggestions to help children understand why they tease and how to speak with greater love.
