Darwin Finds Freedom by NicoleLisa Schrader

 Forced to flee for his life, Darwin searches for the Free Mice from Grandfather’s stories. But will they accept a scaredy-mouse like him? 

Darwin is afraid of everything. But when his life’s in danger, he’s forced to flee. His journey to find the Free Mice from Grandfather’s stories introduces him to mountain animals who teach him about the King of all Creatures and what bravery really means!

The thought of going outside made Darwin’s nose twitch and his ears quiver and his legs tremble. “I could slip into the river and get carried over a waterfall, or a boulder could land on my head.”

I recommend this story for children four to eight years old. It’s a good reminder for those of us who struggle with fear to remember it’s God who is for us!
