Tugboat Teena

This is an animated, Christian children's story about an imaginary, strong friendship between young characters. These young people share stories and songs, and talk about God, life, and good things. The young reader sees how the values of forgiveness and prayer carry this friendship through the choices of one strong-headed, mistaken personality. When Tugboat Teena gets it in her head to take off and go for her dream-come-true, she takes no heed of her friends' words of caution. Nevertheless, through their help and her steadfast belief in the power of prayer, she escapes misfortune. This story has a simple, sometimes symbolic, message that appeals to a range of audiences.
