Toby the Turtle and the Prince of Peace

Toby the Turtle is small with a big heart but often feels overwhelmed and anxious. When the world becomes too loud and confusing, Toby hides in his brightly colored shell-reflecting the beautiful puzzle of neurodiversity. Though he longs for peace, Toby doesn't always know how to find it.

One day, Jesus appears and gently reminds Toby that he is made just as he is and that He is always near-even when Toby is hiding. With words of comfort and love, Jesus teaches Toby how to find a peace that is gentle yet strong, like rippling water that never breaks.

This tender story, inspired by King James Bible verses, offers comfort and hope to children who experience anxiety, sensory overwhelm, or simply feel different. It invites children and parents alike to discover that God's love is constant, His peace is real, and every child is wonderfully made.
