Cedar & Friends
Twenty-seven characters — seven main friends, ten kids of the forest and ten caring adults — so every child can find someone who looks like them and someone to look up to.
Main Friends
Each one carries a value worth growing.
Thoughtful
Cedar loves to ask questions, care deeply for his friends, and discover more about God. He's learning that faith means trusting God, even when you don't have all the answers.
Faith means trusting God, even when you don't have all the answers.
Zechariah 4:10
Adventurous
Zion's always ready for an adventure! Her big heart and courage inspire everyone around her.
Wait. Listen. Then go.
Joshua 1:9
Courage
Leo is brave, loyal and protective. He helps the friends find courage when a path looks steep, and reminds everyone that being brave often begins with being kind.
Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's trusting God inside it.
Joshua 1:9
Kindness
Mimi is sweet, gentle and loving. She notices the friend who is quiet, the one left out, the one who needs a moment — and she goes to them first.
Small kindnesses grow the biggest gardens.
Ephesians 4:32
Wisdom
Olive is wise, curious and loves to learn. She keeps a book close, asks the question everyone else was thinking, and helps the friends slow down long enough to understand.
Wisdom starts with a question and a listening heart.
Proverbs 2:6
Creative & Fun
Finn is clever, quick and playful. He turns problems into inventions and long walks into games — and he's learning that the best ideas are the ones shared.
There's more than one way to build a bridge.
Genesis 1:27
God is near
Peace is a special symbol of God's peace, hope and presence in our stories. Peace rarely speaks — Peace simply arrives, in the moment a friend needs to remember they are not alone.
Be still, and know.
Psalm 46:10
