Children love participating in storytelling. While you read the story, the child can hold up each pillow as Pumpy and Poofy interact with each other. Because Pumpy and Poofy are "pillow people," the child can choose a nearby pillow, whether on a couch or bed, to represent Pumpy and another pillow to represent Poofy. In this book, the child learns along with Pumpy and Poofy how to deal with discouragement and difficulties. They learn that they can look up to God for help. Following the advice of their grandmother, they learn to "live it up the Lord's way"-to have fun even in the face of a challenge. During their visit to Paris, they not only help themselves by looking to God, but they help everyone find a little more happiness.
