Happy Easter, Risen King! by Laura Sassi is the kind of board book that instantly brightens the room, bursting with sunshine through its vivid illustrations and lively, rhyming text. From the very first spread, it pulls children (and the grown-ups reading along) straight into the wonder of Easter. This is a story that doesn’t tiptoe around the Resurrection—it shares the joy of the Resurrection in a way kids can truly feel.

What’s the Story? Let’s Follow the Colors
This playful, rhyming board book follows the Easter morning story from the quiet stillness of dawn all the way to a joyful, can’t-help-but-smile celebration. Along the journey, children are invited to spot colors tucked naturally into every scene—yellow sun, green grass, gray stone, white angel, blue sky, pink blossoms, and more.

​If you’ve ever planned something special only to have it tumble sideways, you’ll feel right at home with Little Mole Gives Thanks by Glenys Nellist, illustrated by Sally Anne Garland. Our furry friend has whipped up quite the woodland feast of pinecone pie, acorn stew, and mushroom soup. The kind of spread that would make any forest critter drool. But when each of his invited guests sends their regrets, Little Mole is left with a full table and an empty heart.

Welcome to the Pumpkin Patch
The other day, I stepped outside and caught the very first whisper of fall—damp bark drifting through the air, apples ripening in the backyard, and that cozy, can’t-quite-name-it feeling. That same autumn wonder wrapped around me when I opened Pumpkin Day for Boo and Belle.

This isn’t just a story—it’s an invitation to a world where friendship and forgiveness bloom among pumpkins and falling leaves. Pumpkin Day for Boo and Belle by Laura Sassi is autumn tucked neatly between two covers. With lilting rhymes, swoon-worthy illustrations, and a message as sweet as pumpkin pie, it’s the kind of book you’ll want to curl up with again and again.

Keep reading for all the cozy details—and yes, there’s a giveaway too. Because really, what’s fall without a little surprise?

If you’ve ever watched your child stare at the night sky with wonder, asking questions like “What are stars made of?” or “Why did God make the universe so big?”—then God’s Little Astronomer by Tina Cho is the perfect picture book for your family.

Blending science and faith in a gentle, relatable way, this story helps children see that curiosity, learning, and belief in God can all grow together. With strong ties to both STEM education and social-emotional learning (SEL), it’s a story that sparks questions while comforting young hearts.

As both a children’s author and someone who’s passionate about creating playful, purposeful stories, I wanted to take a moment to spotlight one of my own books, The Wonder of Under. This story was such a joy to write, and it held Amazon's #1 New Release spot for three weeks! But beyond the fun and whimsy, The Wonder of Under was written with intention—blending imaginative play with early STEM discovery and gentle SEL growth.

Through the eyes of a curious young owl named Quinn, we’re invited into a tender conversation between parent and child about separation, security, and the ever-present love of God. This book is more than a bedtime story—it's a tool for emotional reassurance and spiritual connection.
