Sonia and the Biggest Block Tower Ever

By Kathryn Butler, illustrated by Jenin Mohammed

Sonia longs to be as talented as the other kids in her class. Determined to impress her teacher, she sets out to build the tallest block tower ever. In her imagination, the tower soars higher and higher—stacked with books, a fire truck, boxes of crayons, and even a golden hamster! But when reality sets in, Sonia finds her creation is not nearly as impressive as she had hoped.

Through Sonia’s story, children ages 3–7 will discover that their worth isn’t measured by what they achieve or how others see them, but by the unchanging love of God in Christ. This engaging TGC Kids picture book uses playful storytelling and colorful illustrations to help kids understand that their identity is secure in Jesus—not in accomplishments, talents, or recognition.

A special “Note to Kids” at the end connects Sonia’s experience with the gospel, reminding little readers that they are deeply loved and valued just as they are.
