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.

Take a peek at the lovely illustrations by Sally Garland and be sure to enter the four-book giveaway! Continue reading

An Interview with Author Jennifer Grant, PLUS a Giveaway of her Book, Sing, Wrestle, Spin!

If you’ve never met author, editor and all-round-wonderful-human-being, Jennifer Grant, then here’s your chance. I sometimes have to pinch myself that I’m her friend in real life! (It’s true… we even eat together!)

Jennifer writes for all ages, but I’m most interested in her gentle children’s titles, including the best-selling Maybe I Can Love My Neighbor Too and her upcoming new release, What If I Can’t Explain God? (You MUST preorder that one!)

Last year she released a gem of a book called Sing, Wrestle, Spin: Prayers for Active Kids a lovely title that invites children aged 6-10 to explore imaginative ways to pray using all their senses. As someone who was raised hearing the familiar words: hands together and eyes closed, I was immediately drawn to this book and its potential for children’s ministry.

In celebration of this lovely book, I sat down with Jennifer to ask her a few questions about what drives her as a writer and in particular, what inspired her to write Sing, Wrestle, Spin. She even agreed to give two copies of this lovely book away to my lucky readers! Read on to discover more about her and be sure to enter the giveaway at the end…
