Every day, we are reminded of how God watches over us even when we don’t know it.

Om författaren
Jeannie Thomas lives in South Carolina with her husband, Rae, and two children, James and Betsy. She graduated form Arkansas State University in the late 80s with a degree in Radio-TV, minoring in music. She has since changed directions and works at home as a medical transcriptionist.
She has always worked with children in some capacity since she was very young, starting out as a baby-sitter in Collierville, Tennessee, where she grew up. Through those years, she often scratched out or made up little children’s stories and would tell or sing them to the children. After the birth of their two children, she had new inspiration for her stories and decided to try publishing a few of her favorites. This is the first of her published works, done with the assistance of her husband, Rae who is her best friend. The illustrations were done by her mother, Judy Doudoukjian and her son, James.
