Helping Children See God in the Smallest Things with Author Sharon Fox
What if a child’s simple curiosity about a tomato, a caterpillar, or even a case of the hiccups could become a doorway to noticing God’s love?
In this episode, host Shelly Brown sits down with Sharon Fox, author of Scooch the Curious Caterpillar, a sweet and whimsical children’s book about a curious caterpillar, his best friend Todd, and the unexpected mystery of hiccups in a tomato patch.
In this sweet story, Scooch and his best friend Todd discover that even something as silly as hiccups can lead to wonder, laughter, and a deeper awareness of God’s love.
Sharon shares the real-life moment that inspired the story, why curiosity matters in a child’s faith, and how Scripture is woven throughout the book in a simple, memorable way.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that children do not need complicated lessons to begin recognizing the Lord’s goodness. Sometimes, it begins with a garden, a question, a laugh, and an adult willing to slow down and wonder with them.

- The family moment that inspired the hiccups in Scooch the Curious Caterpillar
