Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Knowing My Identity, Part Three: Caleb and the Day He Almost Stayed SilentOn the first Monday of summer, a yellow supply box goes missing at Hope Community Center, and a grown-up points at the new boy.Caleb Johnson knows Jonah did not take it. He saw the box Jonah carried, and it was blue. But what if his memory is wrong? What if he speaks up and looks foolish in front of everyone? So Caleb sits still, and Jonah stands alone, and by the time Caleb finds his voice, the damage is already done.That is how the summer before fifth grade begins. Over eight weeks at the center's Young Leaders program, Caleb and Team Four investigate a broken crossing signal on Willow Avenue, interview the people it affects, and learn the difference between what they know, what they think, and what they still need to find out. Caleb turns ten and receives his grandfather's brass compass. He corrects a friend who was too harsh, spreads a rumor he did not check, keeps a secret that should not have been kept, and finds an unsigned note waiting on his chair. A reporter wants to make him the hero of a story that belonged to six people. A new girl with hearing aids teaches him that answering for someone is not the same as helping them.Each time, Caleb has to decide what his voice is for. Sometimes courage means speaking. Sometimes it means checking first. Sometimes it means standing beside a friend at the microphone and not starting the sentence for him.Caleb and the Day He Almost Stayed Silent is a Christian chapter book for readers ages seven to nine, with a King James verse for every chapter, a Reader's Discussion guide, character reflections, memory verses, a family activity, and a closing prayer. It is the third book in the Knowing My Identity Series, and it leads directly into fifth grade and Part Four.Short version for the website: The summer before fifth grade, Caleb watches a new boy get blamed for something he did not do, and says nothing. What follows is a season of learning when to speak, when to check, when to keep quiet, and when to make room for someone else's voice. He turns ten, receives Grandpa's compass, and walks into fifth grade knowing where to come back to.
