Life is full of twists and turns and ups and downs. This book teaches children that sadness and fear are a necessary part of the "Ride of Your Life." Without these emotions, we can't fully appreciate Joy and Peace. In order for there to be "ups," there have to be "downs." It helps to know that no matter where we are on our ride, Jesus is with us the whole time and he wants to comfort us on the bad days, celebrate with us on the good days, and love us every day.
