Where Did That Come From (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798991496230)

Where Did That Come From? Is a gentle, faith-based children's book that helps kids understand intrusive thoughts in a way that feels safe, clear, and hopeful. Through the story of Jett, a child who experiences upsetting thoughts connected to anger and fear, the book teaches that scary or unwanted thoughts are not who he is and do not define him. The central message is that these thoughts do not truly belong to the child or to "his brain" in the sense of being his identity; instead, they are something that can be noticed, challenged, and overcome.

Written to comfort both children and the adults who care for them, the book offers a compassionate framework for talking about difficult inner experiences without shame. A teacher in the story helps Jett understand what he is going through and points him toward truth, prayer, and the loving help of Jesus. Rather than leaving the child feeling trapped or afraid, the book emphasizes that he is not alone, he is not "bad," and he has support.

With warmth and reassurance, Where Did That Come From? Invites children to separate themselves from distressing thoughts and to see that help is available. It blends emotional understanding with Christian faith, presenting Jesus as a source of peace, comfort, and strength when intrusive thoughts feel overwhelming. The story is designed to give language to children who may not know how to explain what is happening inside them, while also equipping parents, teachers, and counselors to respond with wisdom and hope.

At its heart, the book is a message of freedom: troubling thoughts can come, but they do not have to stay, and they do not have the final say.
