A Righteous Heart Cares (Paperback)

Paperback. In Maurice and the Bird with the Broken Wing, a tender-hearted third-grader discovers an injured bird on his walk home from school. He names the bird Theo, sets up a cozy box, and promises to see him through - but Maurice quickly learns that real caring costs something. Early mornings. Missed basketball games. Eleven days of showing up even when he isn't sure it will work out.Rooted in Proverbs 12:10 - "A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal" - this beautifully told story teaches children that responsibility isn't just a rule to follow. It's a reflection of God's own character. When we care faithfully for the creatures He made, we are practicing the same gentleness, patience, and consistency that makes us good friends, good family members, and good people.Lexile Range410L - 600L This item is printed on demand.
