Esther - The Belle of Patience

Esther - The Belle of Patience is part of The Adventures of Rooney Cruz series.  (Other books in the series use the Bible characters Hannah, Abigail, Ruth and Deborah.)

Rooney Cruz has a problem with a girl on her soccer team.   She wants to do the right thing and decides she needs to talk to her coach.  She tries a couple times, but is interrupted both times by Mari, her personal angel.  Mari take Rooney on an adventure to see the Bible character, Esther, in action.  As Rooney sees Esther's story unfold, she learns a valuable lesson in being patient and waiting for God's guidance.  As Rooney applies what she has learned through the story of Esther, she is able to talk to the coach about her problem and Mari gives her the bell of patience.

This book is well-written.  Children can easily relate to Rooney's problem.  The illustrations compliment the story and help children find themselves right next to Rooney in experiencing the Bible story of Esther.
