Raelynn Makes Room

Raelynn and Jade have been best friends since the very first day of Kindy, when Jade leaned over and said she liked Raelynn's hair clips. One small kind thing. And that was that.

But when Skye arrives from Queensland, new school, no friends, missing her cat Pickle - Raelynn notices her standing alone near the bubblers and does something simple. She walks over. She makes room.

Jade notices too. And she is not happy about it.

Suddenly Raelynn is caught between the friend she has always had and the friend who needs her right now. And when Jade says the words Raelynn has been dreading — you have to choose — Raelynn has to decide what kind of friend she really wants to be.

Raelynn Makes Room is a warm, funny and genuinely brave story about friendship, jealousy, and what it looks like to welcome people the way Jesus did. Mum's reminder that friendship is not a pie, it does not run out, the table just gets bigger — is exactly the kind of truth young girls need to hear. Because you are allowed to have more than one friend. And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is say so.

Scripture: Romans 15:7 — Accept one another, just as Christ accepted you.
