The Stained Envelope is the inspiring story of Flekk, a little plain envelope, who gets sent on a mission to deliver a letter. His initial excitement for adventure is quickly replaced with fright, loneliness and disappointments. In other words, nothing goes the way he thought it would. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. Along the way, Flekk meets one special friend who seems to know more than he does. At last, Flekk is delivered and finds out the purpose of his long and hard journey.

The Stained Envelope is an engaging allegory written for children 5-9 years old that points to:
  • God’s unique purpose for our lives
  • The joy of surrendering and trusting His plan
The book ends with Flekk's mini biography and some engaging questions!

Flekk is a beautifully illustrated character. My girls had fun trying to spot Flekk on every page. The guided questions helped to give a deeper meaning to the book.

Aurelie Lien's, The Stained Envelope, is a perfect children's book for a child of any age. This simple message of hope and purpose will bless even the adults reading. This book is about the biblical truth that what is inside us matters much more than our "plain" or even "dirty" exterior, and what child does not need to hear this in this day and age?

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and informative story
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024
The Stained Envelope follows an envelope on its exciting journey from Norway to Canada. The story brings Fleck the Envelope to life as he experiences fear, loneliness and bumps and bruises on his journey across the ocean. Aurelie weaves an educational theme about mail sorting and transport into an adventure with a surprising and beautiful ending. Well Done!
