Little Tom Turkey

Includes factual information about wild turkeys.

Meet Little Tom, a young turkey who lives on a farm. He is smaller than the other turkeys and just plain brown. On the farm are some pigs, goats, cows, sheep, and, of course, chickens! This wasn't an ordinary farm where all the animals were kept in their own separate pens. On this farm they all lived in the barn together, and the young animals would play together.One day, when Little Tom was being picked on by the others, he questioned why God would make him plain brown and boring. He even asks Farmer Chad, hoping that he would understand him! To Little Tom's surprise it seems like he does, and he tells him that God has a plan for him. He can't imagine what that could be but thinks about it whenever he would feel sad and lonely. Little does he know that one day soon he is going to find out just what the plan is.Tom wakes up one morning and realizes that he is no longer plain and just had to trust that God has a purpose for him after all and learns a valuable lesson that even the smallest of us can be used in a mighty way!

See what the power of prayer can do from the perspective of a family of turkeys when young Tom and his friends get into some trouble. Jesus made time to pray there by laying the foundation. Ask yourself the question, What has prayer done for you or your loved ones? Perhaps it cured some illness or addiction where doctors gave up all hope.

"Every year near Thanksgiving, Tom Turkey counts down the days in hiding. Thanksgiving is a stressful time of year for a turkey! Especially when a hunter named Carl is chasing you."--Page 4 of cover.
