Description
Zoe’s Time to Shine helps children learn that when Jesus is near, you don’t have to hide—you can face your friends and shine a light on them.
Zoe Mouse loves to sing. She sings everywhere all the time. There is just one problem—she can’t carry a tune. One day she tries out for the school musical and tells all her friends she will definitely get the lead role. But instead of getting a part, her drama teacher asks her to help with the lighting. Zoe wants to hide! Papa finds her in the closet hiding under her blanket and helps her remember that Jesus is with her and will be her protector and helper when she goes back to school.
Edited by Edward T. Welch, Zoe’s Time to Shine offers concrete, grace-based help for overcoming shame and embarrassment and is part of the Good News for Little Hearts series, which brings gospel wisdom and biblical counsel to families. Based on CCEF’s model of hope and help, each story focuses on an animal family’s real-life issues, encouraging young readers toward a growing relationship with Jesus during challenging circumstances.
- A special section at the end of the book guides parents in talking with their kids about turning to and depending on Jesus who covers them with his love and gives them the strength to face others.
- Children ages four to seven will be captivated by Joe Hox’s colorful, fun illustrations that bring the animal world to life.
- Teaches children and parents how to apply God’s Word to the everyday problem of feeling ashamed and wanting to hide.

Endorsements
“I love all of these books, but Zoe’s Time to Shine has a special place in my heart because of Zoe’s misplaced confidence in her ability to sing and her deep disappointment when she finds out the truth. Children will be charmed and parents will learn so much from Ed Welch’s parenting helps for children who want to hide in shame.”
Barbara Miller Juliani, Vice President, New Growth Press
“These books are a uniquely different genre from classic children's bedtime reading. They are counseling books to help children. They provide a creative avenue for children to consider how their faith is intimately relevant to their struggles. This is what makes this series of books so significant.
David Powlison, (1949–2019) was Executive Director of CCEF and editor of the Good News for Little Hearts series
"When our children were little, we read to them constantly—and had these books been available, they would have been among the favorites. With the simplicity and engaging charm of the Peter Rabbit stories, yet with the quiet grace of Christian insight, these stories stamp themselves on young minds. Text and pictures support each other tellingly. These books are destined to become favorites for young families."
D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical School, Deerfield, IL; cofounder of The Gospel Coalition
"I love these books. My daughter Kim who struggles with a disability loves these books. She giggles all the way through them—catching all the subtle humor. I read them to my grandkids. We especially love the drawings. I buy copies for all my grandchildren. What more can I say? They are fun!"
Paul E. Miller, Director of seeJesus; author of A Praying Life and J-Curve: Dying and Rising with Jesus in Everyday Life
