Called Me
Called Me

Somewhere tonight there’s a girl doing an inventory in the mirror. Too tall. Too loud. Eyes too big. Everything about her measured against a friend who blooms easier — and coming up wrong, meet The Tree Called Me. And somewhere down the hall there’s a boy who learned young that he’s the strong one, the one everybody leans on, the one who isn’t allowed to crack out loud. Nobody’s checking on him. Nobody checks on the wall, meet The Stone Called Me.

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” — Psalm 139:14, KJV


The Tree Called Me & The Stone Called Me — V.S. Beals
Two Verse Books · Ages 6–12 · KJV-Anchored

For the girl who’s too much.
For the boy who held too much.

Two stories in verse about what God grows where nobody’s watching — with line art they color themselves and journal pages that make each book theirs.

The Tree Called Me

For the girl called too tall, too loud, too much.

A verse story about the tree who grew roots in the dark while the cherry tree took every compliment — and the day “why aren’t I her?” became “what am I FOR?”

  • Told in verse she’ll carry like a song
  • Line art she colors herself
  • Journal prompts + her own drawing page
  • Anchored in Psalm 1:3 & Psalm 139:14 (KJV)

Roots first. Roots first.

The Stone Called Me

For the boy who had to be the strong one.

A verse story about the stone the wall was built on — the one everybody leans on, who learns there’s a Rock beneath him, and a ruby forming in the press.

  • Ballad verse with a drumbeat boys hold onto
  • Line art he colors himself — find the ruby vein
  • Journal prompts + his own drawing page
  • Anchored in Psalm 18:2 & Psalm 118:22 (KJV)
