BOOK COVER Picture 1 Lia bounced onto the couch, holding up her fingers. “Mom! Only ten more days until my baptism! That’s like… forever! Can’t we just do it tomorrow?” Picture 2 Mom smiled and tucked a loose curl behind Lia’s ear. “I know you’re excited, sweetheart. Baptism is a special day! But remember, waiting isn’t just about counting days—it’s about preparing our hearts.” Picture 3 Lia sighed. “But I am ready! I’ve been ready since last week!” Picture 4 Mom chuckled. “Let’s read a story before bed. I think you’ll like this one.” Picture 5 Lia snuggled under her blanket as Dad opened the scriptures. “Did you know Jesus had to wait for something really special too?” he asked. Lia’s eyes widened. “Really? What?” Picture 6 Dad smiled. “His ministry! Jesus was twelve years old when He taught in the temple, but He didn’t start teaching people everywhere until He was thirty.” Picture 7 “Thirty?!” Lia sat up. “That’s so long!” Mom nodded. “But while He waited, He prepared. He learned, prayed, and listened to His Father in Heaven. When the time was right, He was ready.” Picture 8 Lia thought for a moment. “So… waiting isn’t just waiting?” Dad kissed her forehead. “Exactly. It’s about what we do while we wait.” Picture 9 The next morning, Lia woke up with a new thought. Picture 10 “What if I get extra ready for my baptism?” Picture 11 She helped her little brother tie his shoes. Picture 12 She listened carefully during family prayer. Picture 13 She even asked Grandma about her own baptism day. Picture 14 At bedtime, Lia grinned. “Mom, Dad! Only nine more days until my baptism… and I’m still getting ready!” Mom hugged her tight. “That’s the best kind of waiting, Lia. Jesus is so proud of you.” Picture 15 Lia closed her eyes, her heart full. Baptism was still days away, but she already felt closer to Jesus.

Page 1 Tilly the mouse loved to explore. One sunny morning, she found a tiny pouch. Inside, were the smallest, shiniest seeds she had ever seen. "What could these be?" she wondered. Page 2 Tilly ran to her friend, Hoot the owl. "Hoot, look!" she said, showing him the seeds. Hoot blinked his big eyes. "Those are Wishing Seeds, Tilly," he said. "They can grow into anything you wish for." Page 3 Tilly's eyes widened. "Anything?" she squeaked. "I wish for a mountain of cheese!" She imagined piles of cheddar, Swiss, and mozzarella, all for her. Page 4 Hoot chuckled. "But Tilly, you must plant them with care and patience. You can only plant one seed at a time, and you must wait for it to grow." Tilly nodded, grabbed a tiny pot, and carefully planted one seed. Page 5 Every day, Tilly watered the pot. She waited and waited. But nothing happened. "Why isn't it growing?" she asked Hoot, tapping her foot. "Patience, Tilly," Hoot said. "Good things take time." Page 6 One day, Tilly saw Benny the rabbit struggling to carry a heavy basket of carrots. "Oh, Benny!" she cried. "Let me help!" She helped Benny carry the carrots to his burrow. Page 7 When Tilly returned to her pot, she gasped. A tiny green sprout had peeked out of the soil! "It's growing!" she shouted. She had been so busy helping a friend, she hadn't noticed. Page 8 The sprout grew into a beautiful little plant with glowing flowers that looked like tiny stars. "What did you wish for, Tilly?" Hoot asked. Tilly thought for a moment. Page 9 "I wished for happiness," she said. "And I found it by helping my friends." The glowing flowers shimmered, and a warm feeling filled the air. Tilly realized that true wishes weren't about things, but about kindness and friendship. Page 10 From that day on, Tilly understood the magic of the Wishing Seeds. They taught her that the best wishes were the ones you shared with others. And that the most important thing to grow, was kindness.
