An Open Heart

Lucas loves football more than almost anything in the world. He is fast, he is fierce, and he always plays to win. But when a new girl named Isabella joins his neighbourhood, everything changes.

Isabella is quiet. She doesn’t know anyone yet. And one afternoon at the pitch, something happens that gives Lucas a choice a small choice, the kind nobody else would notice.

But God notices.

Through the bright streets of Brazil, the rhythm of the tambourine, and one unexpected friendship, Lucas learns that an open heart is the bravest thing you can carry.

“Be kind to one another.” — Ephesians 4:32

Perfect for children ages 3–8. A warm, vibrant story rooted in Brazilian culture, celebrating the quiet courage it takes to choose kindness even when no one is watching.
