Simon Spots the Spirit

Simon Spots the Spirit: A Fun, Faith-Filled Story That Actually Keeps Kids Listening

Simon has one goal today: win the spelling bee and finally bring home a trophy of his own. He said a prayer before he left the house, asking for help. But once he's standing on that stage, staring out at the crowd, things don't go quite the way he expected.

That night, Simon can't stop thinking about what happened. So he goes looking for answers in the one place he hasn't thought to check yet.

Why kids (and parents) love this book:

Most books about the Holy Ghost talk about "warm, peaceful feelings" and stop there. Not this book! Through Simon's story, kids learn to recognize specific, real ways the Spirit shows up in everyday life, straight from Galatians 5:22-23.

What's inside:

A genuinely funny, fast-moving story built to hold the attention of kids who don't sit still for "spiritual" books
A simple, memorable way kids can identify the Spirit in their own lives
Hidden spelling bees to find on every page 
A QR code linking to a free family activity for talking about the Spirit together

Perfect for family scripture study, Primary and Sunday School libraries, baptism gifts, or any child working on recognizing personal revelation in a way that finally makes sense.
