Hurrah! The day has arrived when I can reveal the covers of my brand new children’s books, coming to a bookstore near you early next spring:

Meet God Made Mommy Special and God Made Daddy Special.

These two engaging padded cover board books celebrate the special bond between animal parents and their little ones. Whether it’s Mommy Deer, Mommy Hamster, Daddy Bat or Daddy Lion, they all have one thing in common: these parents love their babies!

Each book closes with a celebration of the love between human parent and child, because even though God made all mommies and daddies special, there’s none as special as YOURS!

Here’s an excerpt from one of my favorite poems from the pages of the Daddy book, and your chance to peek at the adorable illustrations by Estelle Corke: 

DADDY SKUNK

Come and meet my daddy,

I love to see him wink.

That’s his sign for danger—

And then we make a stink!

 

He shows me how to lift my tail.

He teaches me a lot.

God made Daddy special—

He’s the best I’ve got!

Isn’t that the cutest!

And now for the best part… even though these books won’t be published until next spring, not only are they available for pre-order now , but I’m also offering a giveaway! Someone reading these very words will be receiving their own first-edition copies!
