In Coop Helps Out, the youngest member of the Wheelie family learns that by serving others, we can serve Jesus.
When Demas, the son of a world-famous race car, makes fun of how Pops' job as the town garbage truck makes him dirty and smelly, Coop starts to wish his father had a more popular, cleaner, cooler job. But when Pops gets sick, Coop learns how important being a garbage truck really is and steps in to help clean up the town. Coop discovers that his father's humble, selfless service points to Jesus, the best servant of all, who came to clean up the mess in our hearts.
The second book in The Wheelies series, written by Sarah Reju and illustrated by Tania Rex, Coop Helps Out will teach children ages 3–8 that they can serve others because of how Jesus has served them.
"Coop Helps Out shows the beauty of a servant's heart and the joy of serving where the Lord has placed you, all while pointing children to the Gospel. Your children will fall in love with Coop and you'll be happy to read this lovely book again and again!"
Korrie Johnson, Founder of Good Book Mom
"In Coop Helps Out, Sarah Reju speaks to the hearts of children and parents alike. Through delightful characters and illustrations, Sarah articulates the gospel message and its manifestation in humble service to others. This will be the next book we read to our grandchildren."
Pat and Diana Forrester, 9Marks Development Manager
"Coop learns an important lesson from his dad: serve others joyfully. No matter how messy the situation or what others think of us, we serve others as God serves us in Jesus. Both the story and the illustrations grab our minds and hearts."
Tom and Diane Schriener, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"With an emotionally compelling story and creative illustrations, Coop Helps Out engages children and parents alike to consider a life of true servanthood. This is a memorable story that captures the imagination and the heart!"

Coop Helps Out looks at the Biblical concept of servanthood. It also subtly looks at honoring parents. Coop’s dad is the town trash truck. Coop’s “friend” is the son of a race car. This friend enjoys pointing out how stinky and dirty Coop’s dad is after working all day. Coop becomes ashamed of his dad. An older friend helps Coop to see that his father has a servant heart that Coop should also look to exhibit. Tania’s Rex used a comic book style to illustrate the text of Coop Helps Out. They will appeal to young children. The book ends with a note for parents about teaching servanthood to their kiddos. Coop Helps Out would be a great addition to the picture book section of a K-12 Christian school library. It is appropriate for preschool and early elementary children.

Got a kiddo who loves cars, garbage trucks, fire trucks and more? This book is PERFECT! And actually whether or not your kids are vehicle-obsessed or not, this Christian series is a MUST! Coop is back in another colorfully-illustrated story this time about serving and helping others as a way to show Jesus’ love. Coop’s dad is a garbage truck, something a “friend” of Coop’s pokes fun at, but when his dad gets sick and the whole town starts to have garbage lining the streets, Coop realizes that helping out, no matter if it looks good to others or not, makes a huge difference and reflects Christ’s servant heart toward us. Make sure to read the pages at the end of the book called “The Good News” and “Notes For Parents” to further apply the principle of service and ideas to incorporate more service opportunities for your kids..
