Guys, I wrote a kids book!

This is a story about learning the importance of being yourself! God Made You to Be You will delight and encourage the little ones around you with the reminder that God has a special purpose and plan for each of us!

Sammy the cactus is stuck

—sticky stuck in the ground to be exact, with no way to move, run, or roam. Snake can slither. Hawk can soar. Jackrabbit can hop. But Sammy? He must stay rooted in one spot. This makes him sad, and he begins to wish he could be more like his desert friends.

But could there be a reason Sammy is planted in one place? In this fun, rhyming board book for children ages 2-6, Sammy discovers that God made him sticky stuck on purpose so that he can help his community of friends!
