Buster's Ears Trip Him Up by Edward T Welch

Buster’s Ears Trip Him Up is a heartfelt story that helps young children learn how to handle failure by resting in God’s love instead of others’ opinions.

When Buster Bunny’s confidence is shaken after a race goes wrong, he struggles with embarrassment and disappointment. With the help of his older sister, Ivy, Buster begins to see that failure isn’t the end—it’s an opportunity to grow. As he remembers God’s love for him, he learns that his worth isn’t based on being the best, but on being loved, freeing him to try again with courage and humility.

Part of the Good News for Little Hearts series for ages three to eight, this beautifully illustrated book offers both a relatable story and practical biblical encouragement for real-life struggles. With a parent resource section and tear-out Bible verses for ongoing support, it equips families to have meaningful conversations about failure, identity, and faith in everyday life.
