Questions You May Have:
When will the book and workbook be available for purchase?
My illustrator, is working on the pictures, which is the majority what needs to be finished before publication. Her projected completion date is August, but I am due with baby boy in September, so I am not sure if I will be able to launch it before he is born. I am hoping I can! So 2 possible timelines are end of August, or November.

Why are you self publishing and not pursuing traditional publication?
After pursuing traditional publication for a few months, I realized it was not a good route for these books. I felt like God was asking me to do 3 specific things with the book that would not be possible with most traditional publishing options.
- Publish a workbook that could be used by parents with their kids to further unpack the concepts in the book. Most traditional publishers are not willing to produce a workbook in addition to a book for a first time author.
- I want to maintain control over the rights to the story and printing. In doing this, I will be able to offer the book at cost or donate it, to churches and ministry organizations who can get the book into the hands of as many kids and families as possible. My goal is to not only serve families that can afford to buy books, but to specifically reach kids and families without the resources to buy books and workbooks but who want to help their kids develop their relationship with Jesus.
- Have the book and workbook translated in multiple languages. Again most traditional book publishers are not willing to invest like this in a first time author. But I believe this message is not just for English speakers, but for children all around the world.
