Arlo and the Keep-Out Club

TGC Picture Book Introduces Children to the Danger of Peer Pressure and the Joy of Friendship with Jesus

Arlo has been longing to play with the big boys on the playground. But when hes given the opportunity to join their club, he is faced with a tough decision. Will he gain the acceptance of his new friends by doing what he knows is wrong, or will he do the right thing even though it may lead to rejection?

Going against the social grain can often leave us feeling lonely, but in his grace, Jesus enables us to do what is right and stays by our side when we feel left out. Written for kids ages 37, this engaging picture book teaches children that following Jesus may come at a cost, but the Lord offers a greater reward as our ultimate friend and comforter. A section for parents at the end of the book provides tips for raising children who can resist negative peer pressure.Arlo and the Keep-Out Clubis the recipient ofChristianity Todays 2025 childrens bookaward.
