A Faith Filled Fantasy Story Introduces Young Readers to the Power of Choice and Staying the Course
A
forthcoming children’s book, MaPOP Goes to the Purple Palace by Tenae
Shush, offers a vivid and symbolic journey that explores what it means to
follow guidance, resist distraction, and arrive with purpose. Told through the
eyes of MaPOP, a joyful and determined puppet, the story invites readers into a
world where every step along the path carries meaning.
After
receiving an elegant invitation and a series of unusual gifts from the royal
Purple Palace, MaPOP sets out on a carefully mapped journey. Armed with a
compass, special instructions, and a heart full of excitement, she travels
through imaginative lands filled with music, celebration, and unexpected
challenges. Not every character she meets has good intentions, and not every
path leads where it promises.
What
distinguishes this story is its emphasis on discernment and spiritual
awareness, presented through creative storytelling rather than direct
instruction. The Pebbled Path becomes a central symbol of faithfulness and
focus, while the character of Pareal introduces the idea of deception and
misplaced trust. Through these encounters, young readers learn the importance
of listening carefully, staying grounded, and using the tools given to them.
MaPOP
Goes to the Purple Palace
balances playful fantasy with thoughtful reflection, making it suitable for
read aloud experiences, classroom discussion, and family reading. The narrative
encourages children to think critically about choices while enjoying a richly
detailed and colorful world filled with animals, music, and celebration.
As
anticipation builds for its release, MaPOP Goes to the Purple Palace
stands out as a meaningful addition to children’s literature, offering a story
that entertains while quietly reinforcing values of faith, obedience, and
perseverance.
