Jenny Marcelene is conducting a series of interviews with Christian authors. I had the pleasure of talking with her about writing for children and cultivating a love of reading. (I DO love to talk about how to get kids hooked on reading!) You can check that out here. While you are at it, take a look around the rest of her website. She has many interesting articles and resources for helping families to cultivate a Biblical worldview.

I am excited to share the cover to SOMETHING! Something is illustrated by Pablo Pino, a wonderful illustrator from Argentina. You can see more of his work on Instagram. The cover makes me think of Jack and the Beanstalk, so you might be under the impression that something magical will happen. Magical . . . miraculous . . . anything is possible when we see the needs of others and love like Jesus!
In a world filled with distractions it is all too easy to overlook opportunities you have to reach out to someone who is hurting. Do we even notice? Something encourages children to "keep their kindness radar working" and to take action when they see a need.

Enter to win one of ten copies of the Nothing board book which is being released February 8, 2022! I'm so excited about the board book format which is much easier for toddlers to handle! Board books are also about half the price of hard covers, so for the price one hard cover you could buy two books and gift one to a friend. Baby showers, birthdays, Valentine's Day . . . but my favorite is the pastor who shared that he was giving a copy of Nothing to each children he was baptizing. I love that! Apologies to my readers in other countries - this particular giveaway is only available for residents of the U.S.
