In the nearby City of Green Meadow Burrows, there lives a humble guinea pig whose name is Biscuit. At first glance, Biscuit looks like many other guinea pigs. She is small, round and chubby with golden fur that grows in all directions. Her eyes are shiny beads of black. Like all guinea pigs, she eats a vegetarian diet. Her favorite foods are hay, lettuce and all sorts of carrots, whether big or small, orange or yellow, or shredded and chopped. She is neither a genius nor an athlete nor a rock star; she can do nothing to make herself rich and famous. Biscuit is a very ordinary guinea pig, you see. So, you might be left wondering why anyone would take notice of her. Why!? Well, it’s because she has accomplished greatness by living her life with a loving heart and good stewardship. How did she do this? Well, let’s peek into her world and see what we find!As you accompany Biscuit during her story, you will meet several animal characters, as follows (in the order of their appearance):Coal, the friendly Poodle who prefers to be called a “Goldendoodle”;Mr. Scrub Jay, the tame, Western Scrub Jay who lives in Biscuit’s garden;Boris, the salad-eating, Russian tortoise;Lily Muttsarella, the Maltepoo dog who plays in dual character roles as Miss Sugar and Police Officer Lily;Spirit, the docile, Ringneck dove;andDaisy, the basket-ball playing, Lesser Sulfur-Crested Cockatoo.Biscuit teaches us that it is more important to be loving than it is to be loved for our importance. In her adventures, she loves everyone and never behaves like a bully; she is honest; she takes a stand against injustice; she is charitable and shares with others; she takes responsibility for her actions; she does her best, even when it’s difficult; she remembers to love herself and have fun; and she appreciates and gives thanks to God and everyone who demonstrates kindness. This book offers an alternative to the violent images that bombard today’s youth on television, in the movies, in the virtual world of electronic games and in the real world.
