About this story
Eli feels worried about meeting a new teacher. Join Eli, Maya and Mum as they read the words Moses shares with Israel and Joshua. Moses is 120 years old and will not cross the River Jordan with them. Joshua will lead the people, and Moses reminds them that God will go before them and will not leave them. He encourages Israel and then speaks to Joshua before the gathered people. This selected retelling explores courage and God’s presence without picturing warfare, Moses’s death or the river crossing. Grown-up notes explain the wider conquest context of verses 3–5 and the jump from Numbers 27 to Deuteronomy 31. Separate modern scenes show Eli preparing a picture, practising a question and receiving support from Mum, Maya and his new teacher. Children can feel worried, pause and ask caring grown-ups for help. The 29-page digital edition includes fourteen distinct illustrated story scenes, Bible references beneath relevant passages, seven questions, My Little Caring Plan, a prayer and two activities: Practise a Helpful Question and My Courage Picture. Children can speak, point or draw. The PDF has searchable interior text; the matching fixed-layout EPUB preserves the illustrated pages and requires a compatible EPUB 3 reader.
