Meet Marcos.
Are you looking for a good friend? Do you know what a good friend is like? Read to find out how Marcos found good friends in the Amazon jungle.
Friends are important to children. Therefore, it is important that children learn, from an early age, the character qualities to look for in a good friend.
Jungle Friends is the story of a lonely boy living along the Amazon River who longs for a friend and discovers good friends among the animals of the jungle. Adolescent readers will be captivated as they share in the adventures of these jungle friends.
After each chapter, the author includes an added benefit. To encourage the reader to develop the character quality highlighted in the chapter, she includes a biblical example--in hopes that her book might also be used as a teaching tool with small groups in school or children's church.
