Made to be shared

For families, churches & classrooms

These stories were written by a Sunday school teacher — to be read out loud, passed around, and given away.

Family read-alouds

Chapter-a-night stories for bedtime and Saturday mornings — written to be read out loud. The heroes are nine to twelve, so younger siblings can listen along while older readers take the book to bed.

Sunday school & church

Class read-alouds, prizes and church library shelves, plus Bible studies and journals for personal and group studies. From an author who taught Sunday school, ran summer Bible clubs and led puppet ministry for decades.

Gifts that say something

Birthdays, baptisms, Easter baskets, Christmas — or just because. A story is a gift that keeps talking to a young heart long after the wrapping paper is gone.

Keep talking

After the last page

Each story leaves a door open for conversation. Three questions that work with any of them:

  • “Where did the hero choose kindness when it would have been easier not to?”
  • “Who in our town could use what Grace delivers — a smile, a helping hand, a homemade treat?”
  • “What would you write in a journal this week, if you kept one like Judy?”
