Keegan Dufner

Keegan Dufner is a good-hearted, opinionated boy whose endless questions enliven a church Vacation Bible School play about Noah's ark. Cast as Noah's son, neighbor Ned, and eventually narrator, he wants to know how distant animals arrived, how they were fed, and how predators were separated from prey. His curiosity delights Emily but worries Olivia, whose own questions once led into doubt. Whit helps the directors see that Keegan's strong Christian background makes him ready for harder teaching, while another child needs simpler foundations. Keegan happily accepts both a scientific explanation of rainbows and the reminder that God designed them. Inquisitive and teachable, he shows that careful questions need not oppose childlike faith; they can help a growing mind explore it more deeply.
