13 Wonderful pages!

The main idea of the story, "Toby and the Quiet Morning," is the importance of keeping the Sabbath holy by taking a special day to rest, worship, and focus on God and family.

Rest and Peace: The Sabbath (Saturday) is a time to stop being busy with everyday work, chores, and loud play, allowing the heart and mind to be refreshed.

Worship: Going to church is a central way to honor the Sabbath. It is described as giving God their "best hour" of the week to show gratitude and learn important stories.

Prioritization: The day helps Toby and his family remember to make God the most important thing, which in turn helps them be kinder and happier throughout the rest of the week.

The story illustrates Toby's journey from finding the quiet boring to understanding the peaceful, happy feeling he gets inside when he dedicates his time to spiritual activities and family togetherness.
