At the time of the authors retirement a few years ago, writing a childrens storybook for her grandchildren was one of the top items on her bucket list. However, it wasnt far into the project that she realized that these stories, based on her familys real-life experiences and her most cherished tales from childhood, begged to be shared. The collection represents a legacy for future generations, and each story is just too precious to be forgotten. The twelve stories, appropriate for bedtime, are introduced by scripture texts that can be memorized by even young children. Lessons of Gods protection, answered prayers, the care of angels, thankfulness, and Gods direction in our lives are but a few of the faith-building topics covered. Each story is beautifully illustrated by the watercolor-and-colored-pen artistry of the authors good friend, Darla Hanson. The authors purpose in writing this book is to provide yet another avenue for children to know Jesus in their formative years and develop a growing and lifelong relationship with him. Her prayer is that one of these stories might linger in your childs memory as a reminder of Gods love and care in trying circumstances.
