I am so thankful to be able to share this review with you! The message of Toby the Goby is for young and old alike! We all need to be reminded of the truth of who we are and that we are better together! Life isn't always easy-but we can do all the things with God's help. #beagoby

Toby the Goby is a beautiful story about a goby fish from Hawaii. Toby needs to swim upstream to the mountain, but he feels he can’t do it. With words of encouragement from his friends and discussion about keeping his eye’s focused on Son, this is is a beautiful an amazing book. I highly recommend.

I noticed this book doesn’t have many reviews, so wanted to share!
I read this to my 2nd grade class and afterwards we used the drawing guides to draw pictures of Toby and his friends. We absolutely loved discussing how we are all God’s amazing creation and can do hard things. It was inspiring and I hope to use it again in a kids sermon!
