The Anxious Lily.

Thank you @bngreensboro for hosting so many wonderful authors today! I had so much fun sharing Lola the Lily with all the kiddos. I was reading Matthew 6 again this week because the last few weeks have been heavy with things weighing on my heart and mind. I’m grateful for a God who cares for us and provides for our deepest needs. He is faithful and trustworthy. I hope The Anxious Lily will always remind readers of this truth. ❤️ #kidlit #theanxiouslilybook #eventhelilies #childrenspicturebooks

This week our family got a fun surprise in the mailbox - our June issue of Clubhouse Magazine with my first full spread! About a year ago my son and I talked and thought it would be a fun project to submit an article to Clubhouse for consideration. They were seeking features on kids who make a difference, and I wanted to tell the story of how my son worked hard to raise $5,000 for @thepregnancynetwork’s Walk for Life. I sent it off and, like so many other times, forgot about it. About 7 months later Clubhouse reached out and said they loved it! 6 months after that, we’re holding it in our hands.

If you’re looking for a sweet end of year or graduation gift, this children’s book is a wonderful choice! This faith-based book has the vibe of “Oh, the Places You’ll Go,” but with a distinctly Christian message. The smooth, simple rhymes share the desire that every believing parent has for their child: no matter what you do or where you go, I want you to know Jesus and follow him.
