Dillon wrote a book. He wanted to share it.
He sneaked his book into a library! He hid it on a shelf.
Library workers found it. They liked it. Now others can read it too.
Pray: Do you ever do sneaky things? Ask God to help you always to tell the truth.
Read More: Dillon Helbig’s book is called The Adventures of Dillon Helbig’s Crismis. He sneaked his story onto a shelf with other storybooks. Dillon knew that was wrong and told his mom. They went back to the Boise, Idaho, library. But the book wasn’t on the shelf. Librarian Alex Hartman and other workers had found and read it. They decided to keep it. A reporter told Dillon’s story on TV. Now there is a long waiting list to check the book out. Psalm 119:9 says, “How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.”
