Tiny and the Jr. Ranger Badge: A Read-Aloud Story About Honesty, Integrity, and Choosing the Next Right Thing (Adventures of Tiny, the Moose)

What does it mean to earn something honestly?

Cash is excited to visit a national park, complete his Junior Ranger booklet, and earn his badge. But when one activity becomes harder than expected, he is tempted to take a shortcut.

Tiny, his quiet stuffed moose, does not say much.

He does not have to.

As Cash looks at the answer he drew instead of discovered, he begins to realize that getting the badge is not the same as earning it. With a little courage and a lot of honesty, Cash learns that the next right thing is sometimes the hardest thing to do.

Tiny and the Jr. Ranger Badge is a warm children’s read-aloud about honesty, integrity, mistakes, and the quiet strength it takes to tell the truth.

Perfect for families, classrooms, homeschool groups, and character-building conversations, this first book in the Adventures of Tiny, the Moose series helps children understand that doing what is right matters, even when no one is watching.

All proceeds from this book go toward the Apogee Fredericksburg Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, supporting scholarships, leadership development, and educational opportunities for children and families.
