Coop Messes Up

By Sarah Reju, illustrated by Tania Rex

Coop Wheelie is the youngest in his family—and like many kids, he finds it hard to follow all the rules. When he runs out of gas, his sister Lucy steps in to help, but soon both of them are caught in the middle of trouble. In the end, Coop discovers that making mistakes isn’t the end of the story. Instead, it’s a way to learn about forgiveness, grace, and God’s never-failing love.

Coop Messes Up is the first book in The Wheelies series, a faith-filled picture book collection that brings biblical truths to life through a playful family of cars and trucks. With colorful illustrations and a relatable storyline, this engaging book helps children ages 3–8 understand that being a Christian isn’t about keeping every rule perfectly—it’s about receiving God’s forgiveness and trusting His love.
