In Boy Meets Squirrels by Mike Nawrocki, and illustrated by Luke Seguin-Magee, the two petrified squirrels Michael brought home from Israel are awake and ready to dive into the 21st century. Turns out, the squirrels lived during the time of Jesus and love sharing the lessons they learned from His teaching in their own quirky way. Missteps and misadventures abound as Merle and Pearle help Michael and his friends confront a bully, using lessons from the Sermon on the Mount. Recommended for ages 6 to 10 years.
