Learn how this child found faithful friends and became one, and how you can too!
Whether child or adult, if you’re lonely or blue, "Finding Faithful Friends" happened for him, and it can happen for you!

At seventeen, Judy Salisbury wrote this relatable little narrative for her art and creative writing classes. Revisiting it more than forty years later, Jeff and Judy collaborated to elevate the story to new heights as they realized many children and even adults are struggling, feeling much like the child in this charming tale. The engaging, memorable, and uplifting rhyme, along with its vibrant illustrations by Steve Pillegi (illustrator of “Ditsy and The Very Good Shepherd: A Lesson in Love, Trust, and Faithfulness,” also by Judy Salisbury), make this heartwarming story and its lessons come to life. “Finding Faithful Friends” is a timely work that will encourage, inspire, and offer hope to children of all ages and even the adults who share it with them.
