Today's story is found in the book of Genesis 11:1-9. All about the greatest tower in the world back in bible times: The tower of Babel.

Jambo! Bonjour! Konnichiwa! We’re saying hello in different languages. 

 What language do you speak? If you’re listening to this story, you are hearing it in English. Some of you can speak other languages, like Mandarin, or Spanish, or maybe even Arabic!

 Well, this story is about a group of people who could all speak only one language—but it wasn’t a good thing! Let’s find out why…

 After the big flood that covered the whole earth, God told everyone on board to spread out all over the world. The animals got off the ark and went to find new homes, in the mountains, the lakes, the forests and the deserts. Noah and his family got off the ark too, and as the years went by, the family grew and grew until there were lots of people living on the earth once again.

 But they didn’t adventure across the earth. They all stayed together. This wasn’t what God had told them to do.

 One day, this big group of people decided to find a new home. They moved all their things into a big desert area, and made lots of bricks to use for homes.

 But then, someone had an idea.

 “Hey, everyone!” said a person. “Why don’t we build a city with a tower?”

 The people liked this.....

Today’s story is about a little seahorse that feels sad because he isn't like anyone else. He wants to be a turtle, an octopus or a Manta Ray and does not embrace who God made him to be. 

Below the waters of the deep blue Sea, lived Splash, a tiny seahorse. Early one morning, Splash glanced up to the waters above. It looked so pretty with the rays of the sun splashing and creating a rainbow of light below. He loved his home, but lately he had been a little unhappy.

Hidden in the seagrass beds, he admired Ophelia, the octopus, one creature of the deep. He sighed. His heart felt sad. Why did he have to be so small? How he wished to be strong like Ophelia with her eight groovy arms, which she used to move rocks to build her den.

Today’s story is very special as it is written by 7 year old Zaira Lace. This story is about Little M the lion and how he learns that it's important to listen to your parents.

Once upon a time there was a cute lion cub called Little M.  He was mischievous and cheeky but lots of fun. His name was special because he was named after his dad, Mighty, the most respected lion in the waterhole. Mighty was the king. Little looked up to his dad, but it was his mum, Inkabel, that Little M adored because she took care of him and played with him every day.

Little M lived in a cozy cave near a beautiful waterhole called ‘Shimmering Waters’.  This waterhole was crystal clear and its water tasted ever so slightly of salt.  It was surrounded by tangled trees and the edge was dotted with yellow daisies, but Little M’s favourite part was the sparkling waterfall. It was this very waterfall that would get Little M into very BIG trouble.

One particular morning Little M was finishing his breakfast when he heard a familiar sound outside the cave.  He ran out excitedly barely hearing his mum and dad plead for him to have fun but be careful.  

The sun was shining, the waterfall shimmering and there was his best friend Ginger growling for him to come play with her....

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Today's GIGI book of the month is "Mei and Ginger: the turtle dilemma."

This story is based on the fruit of the spirit: Self-control.

Meiling Jade Carter is excited as she embarks on a family holiday to Turtle Cove with her parents and Ginger, her fluffy fat cat. She loves animals and wants to keep every single one she sees.

At the island, she makes friends with the ranger’s son Lucas–who has a super adorable Cockatiel and knows so much about animals and Turtle Cove. Mei also goes on a night tour to watch turtle hatchlings make their way to the ocean.

Mei is mesmerised and wants to keep one, but she knows she can’t. These baby turtles need the water to live.

One night during a severe storm, Mei finds a little hatchling that didn’t quite make it to the ocean. With heart thumping and trembling fingers, she picks it up and takes it to her room. She doesn’t tell anyone that she has the little turtle, but what if it gets sick and dies? What can she do?

You can listen to this episode and grab your audiobook at our GIGI library.

Today’s story is about Peter the disciple of Jesus - when an Angel miraculously breaks him free from prison.

Peter’s heart was pounding fast, faster than it ever had before. He didn’t dare sit down, in case a rat crawled over his lap again. At least, he thought it had been a rat. It was pitch black in the prison cell, and he really couldn’t tell what creatures were in here.

Peter inched closer to the bars of the cell door, being careful not to rattle the chains around his ankles too much. The last thing he wanted was for the mean prison guards to hear him. Reaching the cell door, he wrapped his hands around the cold metal bars. How had this happened?

Peter thought about the terrible week he’d had. King Herod hated the church that Peter and his friends belonged to. King Herod hated that they talked about Jesus, and how they believed Jesus was the one true King. Peter hadn’t been afraid of evil King Herod. He knew that Jesus was stronger than any king on earth. But now King Herod had arrested Peter and thrown him into jail. Not only that, but he had sent so many soldiers to guard the prison. There was no way Peter could escape, and he knew it was only a matter of time before King Herod decided to do something even more evil....

Today's story is about a little boy called Lucas who gets invited to a birthday party that none of his friends wanted to go to. 

Here is a sneak peek

Lining up outside his classroom, Lucas was joined by some of his friends.

 “Hey, did you get an invitation to Miguel’s party?” he asked his friend Casey.

“Of course. The whole class got one,” said Casey. “But I’m not going!”

“What? Why not?” asked Lucas.

“Miguel’s weird,” said Casey.

 “But we haven’t even really talked to him!” said Lucas.

 “Well, I’m not going.” Casey decided firmly.

 “Neither am I,” said Alice, who had been listening from her place in the line. “No one really talks to Miguel. I don’t know why he invited us.”

 Lucas looked over at Miguel, who was standing by himself at the end of the line...

This month, we have an amazing story of a very brave woman called Harriet Tubman. She was a slave many years ago and had a sad life - however, that did not stop her from living a full life - instead she helped rescue many slaves. 

Here is a sneak peek

A long, long time ago, in a country called the United States of America, there lived a little girl. Her name was Harriet.  

Harriet lived with her mum and dad and nine siblings. Life was very difficult for Harriet and her family. Back then, people owned other people, and forced them to do very hard jobs, all day, every day. This is called slavery, and it was very common for people like Harriet, who were born with dark skin.

Harriet and her family lived on a large farm in a place called Maryland. Even when she was very little, Harriet was forced to do lots of chores that she didn’t want to do, and was beaten and punished badly if she didn’t do them right. On the farm, she became very strong, working with cows and animals and planting in the fields. 

But one day, something terrible happened to Harriet....

This month we are looking at the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours.

You can read his story in the Bible in Genesis chapter 37 to chapter 50.

 Here is a sneak peek...

The baker’s glared at Joseph. How dare he give me this interpretation! I don’t believe it one bit; he thought. But when he remembered the interpretations were from God and not Joseph, he realised he couldn’t be angry. He sighed heavily and soon his angry eyes changed and filled with tears. We don’t know for sure, but we can imagine Joseph putting his arm around the baker to comfort him in his last days on this earth, and perhaps he shared the good news of salvation with him, so that he could decide to follow God before he died. However it happened, we know Joseph was kind and caring and did all he could to uplift the hearts of others around him. 

Sure enough, three days later, the baker was taken out to be executed, and the butler was returned to Pharaoh’s palace. …

This month we are looking at the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours.

You can read his story in the Bible in Genesis chapter 37 to chapter 50.

 Here is a sneak peek...

With his hands tied together with rope and his bare feet walking across the hot sand of the desert, he gave his life to God and prayed that the Lord would be with him as he entered the strange land.

Upon arriving in Egypt, they sold Joseph as a slave to Potiphar, who was the captain of the pharaoh’s guards. All around him were people who lived corrupt lives; yet Joseph determined in his heart to do good for his earthly master and to work to the best of his abilities. Though the Egyptians worshipped false gods, Joseph was not afraid to show that he worshipped the God of heaven.

Potiphar saw Joseph was diligent in all that he did, and one day, he asked, “Joseph, what is the secret to your success? I see you working hard all day, and I cannot understand what makes you work so well…”

This month we are looking at the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours.

You can read his story in the Bible in Genesis chapter 37 to chapter 50.

 Here is a sneak peek...

He finally landed sharply on his back at the bottom of the well. The impact stole his breath, and it left him winded and in pain. But there was no one there to save him. He was all alone. It took him a few moments to regather his thoughts. When he realised the sad reality of his situation, fear and despair crept into his heart, yet with his voice he cried out to God, who had always been his safe place.

“Lord, please save me. I am so scared and alone and I am afraid I will never get out of this hole. But I know You are with me no matter where I am, and so long as I have You watching over me, I will be safe….”
