Contentious Adeline and the Rooftop Escape: Proverbial Kids © Wisdom for Young Families
()
About this ebook
paints the portrait of a malcontent little girl who idolizes her monthly Pretty Palace design magazine. When her grandpa builds a treehouse, Adeline expects her brothers to paint and decorate it accordingly. Their pushback brings Adeline to tears until her father steps in and gives her the listening ear shes been longing for. Culturally relevant verses from Proverbs offer light and peace for busy families struggling with materialism and discord.
The Proverbial Kids series by Karen Holcomb is precisely the kind of creative curriculum parents need for family discipleship. I have found the materials biblically sound, creative, and usable by families with a broad range of ages at home. I strongly endorse the series.

Contentious Adeline affords abundant testimony to Karens skill as an author, illustrator, and teacher extraordinaire! In a day when so many children (and adults) feel a sense of entitlement and appear captured by materialism, this book can help realign priorities through a story rooted in the eternal principles of Proverbs.

I read this book with my 10-year-old granddaughter. She really liked it and it was a great conversation starter for us. Thank you, Karen, for helping us talk about attitudes, values, and even how much time adults stay on their phones! Love this tool!
