Celebrating the Release of Little Mole Gives Thanks with a Four-Book Giveaway!

It’s here! It’s here! Today is release day for my newest picture book, Little Mole Gives Thanks!

In the fourth exciting installment in the Little Mole series, everyone’s favorite woodland friend is planning a fancy forest feast and he’s invited three very important guests, including my personal favorite… Principal Porcupine! (I mean… who couldn’t love a porcupine in pearls, and a KILT!)

But when each of these guests delivers the news that they won’t be able to attend, Little Mole doesn’t know what to do. Who will fill his table? Disappointment turns into gratitude as his community shows Little Mole what true friendship looks like, just in time for the big feast he and Mama worked so hard to prepare.

Celebrating the Release of Wherever You Are With a Four-Book Giveaway!

It’s here! It’s here! Today is release day for my newest picture book, Wherever You Are.  

Eight years ago, on an ordinary Thursday afternoon, when my first-born grandson was just three years old and I had the enormous privilege of taking care of him, it was snowing.

He stood by the window in our front room, and as he watched the snow fall silently outside, he was so very still that I took a photo. After a moment, he turned to me and asked, in his three-year-old voice, Where’s God?

I did not know it then, but that ordinary moment on that ordinary day would become a picture book exploring the simple yet powerful premise that wherever you are, God is there.

Neither did I imagine that illustrator, Sian James, would use the photograph I took that long-ago day as the basis for one of the first illustrations, or that I would later appear in one of the pages. To see my grandson in the book, to find out why and where I’m in it, and of course, to enter the whopping FOUR-BOOK giveaway, read on… Continue reading
