Celebrating Mother’s Day With a Three-Book Giveaway of The Wonder That is You

For so many of us, Mother’s Day will be different this year. Families won’t be meeting together in their favorite restaurant to celebrate; churches won’t be handing out pretty bookmarks or potted daffodils to the moms in their congregations; there’ll be no extended family gatherings around dinner tables, and no trips out to visit Grandma.

But although much in our world is different this year, one thing remains the same- there is a universal WONDER surrounding motherhood, and an incomparable joy when we greet a new arrival in the family, whether through birth or adoption.

This is the joy and wonder that is captured through the pages of The Wonder That is You, the newly-released board book version of the popular picture book published last summer. .

It felt as if the world stood still

The day my dream came true.

And all creation paused to see

The wonder that is you.

Here’s some of my favorite illustrations from the book… Continue reading

A Note From Little Mole…

Hello World!

Little Mole here! Glenys gave me permission to take over her blog to tell you all about my first month of life. Yes, that’s right, you did hear correctly… I am now just one month old, and a very exciting first month it has been!

In my first four weeks of life, after I’d plucked up courage to venture from my burrow, I traveled all the way over the ocean, to England, where I landed in the lap of this adorable new baby (who just happens to be the great-nephew of Glenys, and who she hasn’t even met yet). But just look how much he loves me! And honestly, who can blame him? I’m kind of cute…

With adorably vivid illustrations and tangible descriptions of hope that kids will understand, Little Mole Finds Hope will bring love, light, and curious conversations to every family’s bedtime reading.

Breakfast With Jesus, by Vanessa Myers: Book Review and Giveaway

As a Christian author, I reluctantly have to admit that I sometimes break the 10th commandment, which is… thou shalt not covet.

But how can I not think, as I pick up  Vanessa Myer’s new book… I wish I’d written this?

This lovely new family devotional is based on the simple premise that just as Jesus shared breakfast with his disciples, he also wants to share breakfast with you!  Continue reading
