Theo’s Gift
Theo is a chick condor, who wants to learn to fly like his mom and dad. But discouraging words from Raven cause him to doubt his ability. With each attempt, Theo loses sight of God’s intention, only to succeed once he realizes, with the help of his parents, we can be who God made us to be! Theo’s Gift was inspired by a nature documentary of two eaglets struggling to survive. When Brenda Sue watched the larger of the two taunt the smaller one, she was reminded of children she had observed being bullied. She chose to write about a condor family because of the parental affection and care they give their chicks. Some of the children she had observed also had a supportive family environment and overcame their challenge through the help of their parents, while others did not have support. In Theo’s Gift, Brenda Sue hopes to encourage children to stand up against their own bullies with God’s help.
