The Sparrow Who Fell to the Ground

In a world of storms and struggles, where does a small and broken sparrow find his strength? The Sparrow Who Fell to the Ground is a beautifully written and faith-filled story that echoes Jesus' promise in Matthew 10:29-31--reminding children and parents alike that no fall escapes the loving care of our Heavenly Father.

Born with a broken wing in the stormy Valley of Tears, the little sparrow longs to escape to a place of light and joy. Time and again, he tries to fly--only to crash, struggle, and face dangers along the way. But with every fall, he learns to persevere, to pray, and to trust in God's plan. And when he finally crosses the mountain, he discovers a garden unlike any other--a place of peace, healing, and a Carpenter who restores what was broken.

Told in enchanting rhyme and rich with biblical imagery, The Sparrow Who Fell to the Ground is a powerful parable of faith, suffering, and redemption. This inspiring story will help children see that even in our hardest moments, God's love is guiding us to something greater than we could ever imagine. Perfect for Catholic families, homeschoolers, and anyone seeking a timeless lesson in trust and divine providence.
