With all of the content your little ones could consume, the latest video release from CAFO is something you can feel great about sharing with your entire family this summer.
The story of the lovable, scruffy and remarkably resilient Caleb Koala (from Caleb Koala’s Comeback Ride) can now be enjoyed as a read-aloud on YouTube, narrated by Dr. Nicole Wilke, author and director of the CAFO Research Center.
Caleb Koala’s Comeback Ride tells the story of a sweet young bear who has experienced hard things. He loves riding his bike until an accident leaves him afraid to ride again, and he declares himself “a koala who just doesn’t ride bikes.” But one day, an exceptional opportunity leads him to wonder whether it would be possible to get back on his bike. With support from his Grandpa and the truth of God’s word, Caleb Koala goes on a journey to discover who he is and what he can do.
“I wrote Caleb Koala’s Comeback Ride for children who’ve been through something hard — and for the grown-ups who love them. My hope is that kids will see themselves in Caleb and be reminded that they are more than what’s happened to them. With love, truth and support, they can find healing and courage to try again.”
