A couple of years ago my Aunt got this wild hair and started writing a children's book. Her sister-in-law helped her with the story line and editing. This is one of three books in the series called "Believe and You're There". I read the book when it was on yellow notebook paper, it was so cute and I actually learned a lot! It has been so fun to watch the whole process take place. Here is a summary of the book and 2 reviews. If you have nieces and/or nephews, ages 7-12, this would be a great gift! Enjoy!Katie, Matthew, and Peter always knew there was something special about Grandma. Then one day they find themselves whisked right into one of her paintings - and are magically transported to ancient Palestine! Alone in a strange land, they must face Roman soldiers, angry Pharisees, and a charging wild boar. And then, to their wonder, they witness the heavens open as John baptizes Jesus.
“This series is a powerful tool for helping children learn to liken the scriptures to themselves. Helping children experience the scriptural stories from their point-of-view is genius.”—ED AND PATRICIA PINEGAREd Pinegar is the bestselling author of Raising the Bar.
“As grandparents of 50 grandchildren, we heartily endorse the Believe . . . and You’re There series. Parents and grandparents, gather your children around you and discover the scriptures again as they come alive in the Believe . . . and You’re There series.”— STEPHEN AND SANDRA COVEYStephen Covey is the bestselling author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

That is so amazing--I can't wait to read them! Good job Allison! I want to see her wild hair. I think it's so cool when people discover talents that they can do from home.
So cute! Let me know when they hit the shelves here!
Wow, that's really exciting! My Dad's working on a childrens book right now. I know it can be a long process. I can't wait for it to be published. Your Aunt must be very talented!
