Meet Avery and Aria

Avery and the Storm of Worries
Worries follow Avery like little gray clouds, and soon the storm inside feels overwhelming. Avery’s story helps children see how faith, prayer, and trust in God can bring peace when anxious thoughts grow loud.

Aria’s Quiet Courage
Aria knows what happened—but speaking up feels hard. Her story shows children that courage does not have to be loud, and that telling the truth with kindness can be an act of love.
