The Momster Comes Out

A funny, faith-filled picture book about listening, forgiveness, and the love that brings families back together.

Sharin's day begins with one small act of disobedience: she refuses to get out of bed. Before long, the family is running late, Mom's coffee is spilled, and the morning commute becomes a noisy adventure. At school, Sharin and her mother pause to pray for open ears, new friends, courage, and a good day. But when the final bell rings, Sharin decides to hide instead of meeting Mom. Her harmless game does not feel harmless to the worried mother searching everywhere for her child.

Back at home, Sharin is hungry and eager to play, but she still does not want to follow directions. Toys cover the floor. Homework waits. Mom's patience grows thinner and thinner until, right before Sharin's eyes, her loving mother seems to transform into something enormous, wild, and frightening: the Momster!

Can Sharin tame the beast and bring back her awesome mother? With prayer, honesty, and a change of heart, she discovers that listening is more than simply following rules. It is one way children show love, build trust, stay safe, and help make home a happier place. She also learns that a difficult moment does not erase a parent's love. Apologies can be accepted, mistakes can be forgiven, and a family can begin again.

Told in playful rhyme and brought to life with warm, expressive illustrations, The Momster Comes Out turns a familiar parent-child struggle into a lively story young readers will recognize. Children will laugh at the exaggerated Momster transformation while also understanding the real emotions underneath it: frustration, worry, fear, remorse, relief, and love.

This engaging read-aloud opens the door to meaningful conversations about:

• Listening and following directions
• Why hiding from a parent or caregiver can be dangerous
• Recognizing anger and frustration
• Taking responsibility after making a poor choice
• Apologizing, forgiving, and repairing a relationship
• Prayer, faith, and God's loving presence in everyday family life

Ideal for families, churches, Christian schools, Sunday school classes, and anyone navigating the big feelings that can fill an ordinary day, The Momster Comes Out offers children a reassuring message: parents may become overwhelmed, children may make mistakes, and tempers may flare-but love, faith, and forgiveness can guide everyone home again.

Perfect for shared reading at bedtime or in the classroom, this humorous and heartfelt story will encourage children to listen more carefully, make wiser choices, and remember that even after the Momster comes out, a mother's love is never far away.
