The Walking Strawberry

His name is “Who’s That,” and he is a six-foot-tall strawberry who walks, talks, and is friends with angelic girls and wild animals. He’s also five years old and can’t wait to share with others the news and love of Jesus.

In the latest children’s book by author Margaret Trice, The Walking Strawberry, Who’s That comes upon a community and meets a girl named Becca, who wants to know why such an unusual person is in her town.

Who’s That quickly tells Becca that he has traveled from town to town to let children know about the love of Jesus. He also introduces Becca and other children in her community to his friends that range from tigers and rhinos to girl angels.

The idea for The Walking Strawberry came to Margaret while she was talking and praying to God one sunny morning. He gave her a vision of a berry, which she thought about for days until God revealed to her she was to write a children’s book. Before she knew it, she had the title in mind and was ready to write.

Who’s That wants every child to know he or she is loved by Jesus and that they are all in His heart; and hopefully Becca and her town will know this truth as well.
