Although the title and the picture on the front indicates a girl book, the story is interesting to both boys and girls because Sarah’s siblings are very involved in the story. A secular picture book that tells that same story is The Bear That Heard Crying, by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock and Helen Kinsey; this book is readily available at public libraries.
