Christy and the Big Red Monster
In Christy and the Big Red Monster, young Christy is afraid of her grandfather’s loud red race car, which she calls the “Big Red Monster.” With Papa’s patient guidance, she learns to face her fear step by step—first by observing, then touching, then sitting in the car, and eventually riding in it. Along the way, she uses small tools like breathing, naming what she feels, and trusting her voice. Through love, faith, and encouragement, Christy discovers that courage doesn’t mean being fearless—it means moving forward even when fear is still there. By the end, the “monster” becomes something new: not scary, but understood… even helpful.
