God Heard the Pelican Cry A Story of Helping God’s Creatures By Belinda Dawn Allen Inspired by Psalm 147:9 (KJV) What if a quiet summer evening held a whisper from Heaven? In God Heard the Pelican Cry , young Gabriel and his best friend Mia are drawn into the stillness of the marsh, where moonlight shimmers, crickets sing, and something small is calling out for help. A baby pelican… stuck, tired, and alone. With brave hearts and gentle hands, two children step into a moment bigger than they expected, discovering that compassion is sometimes the answer to a cry we almost miss. As they race home to Jamma, gather blankets, and welcome a kind wildlife rescuer, Gabriel and Mia learn a truth that lingers long after the last page: God hears His creatures… and He often sends helpers. Rooted in the promise of Scripture: “He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.” Psalm 147:9 (KJV) This beautifully written coastal keepsake story reminds children and families that listening matters, kindness matters, and even the smallest act of help can be part of God’s loving care. Perfect for: Faith-filled families - Animal-loving children - Bedtime reading and classroom discussions - Teaching compassion, courage, and God’s gentle presence A tender story of wonder, mercy, and the God who hears every cry.
