Children’s Book

As Promised from a couple of weeks back, my new book All Creatures Most Small is now out. This is my first book that is exclusively children’s poetry and was appropriately illustrated by my young friend Emilia (9 years old). Watching both Emilia and my friend and graphic designer Robert Keller come onboard to illustrate and frame my poems was a huge blessing in my life. I am grateful to them for their enthusiasm and advice as well as the kind and encouraging words from both Emilia’s mom and grandmother.

Here is another little peek – Into what All Creatures Mostly Small is about

We were having a great time storytelling and singing around the campfire, late into the night at our church camp out for boys. The youngest of them felt like we were in the wilderness even though it was really just behind the house of one of our church members. When the time came for everybody to head for bed, it took a while to get the boys settled into their sleeping bags. While I lay there listening to the cicadas singing and the frogs chirping, a little voice whispered from the back of the tent, “We can’t sleep. It sounds scary!”

“Oh, don’t be afraid.” I told them. “That just sounds like God talking to me.” I answered back. “Oh!” The small voice whispered. Then just a few minutes later things got quiet and I could hear the gentle snoring of the boys telling me that yes, they had heard God speaking too. I am thankful for all the lessons both large and small that God has taught me with the voice of even His tiniest creatures. and I invite you in these poems to hear God talking to you too.

Here is the softcover edition which is available on Amazon today. This is also an e-book format for those who prefer tablets instead of physical books.

Daniel’s Easter Adventure

Tad and Candle

Several years ago I wrote a series of children’s stories about a little lamb named Tad. Tad got into all kinds of trouble but through each story He learned to make friends, trust His shepherd and become a little more grown up. To the Tad stories which I developed for a class of young boys I have now added three more stories. These new stories are about Tad’s new friend Candle. Candle is a firefly and He has his own set of adventures, dangers and exciting rescues. The Complete Adventures of Tad and Rad is dedicated to our grandchildren and is now available in paperback on Amazon.com. You can follow the link or look it up yourself on Amazon. Be blessed and enjoy!
