About the Author: Crystal Bowman is a former preschool teacher, author, and speaker. She graduated from Calvin College with a degree in elementary education and studied early childhood development at the University of Michigan. Her writing career began in 1990 as a lyricist for children’s piano music. She began writing children’s books in 1993 and has since written more than 70 books for children and 3 for women. She has written books for many popular children’s series, such as Little Blessings, BOZ the Bear, MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers), and I Can Read!

As a speaker, Crystal enjoys sharing her stories and poetry with students in the classroom and also with adults at teachers’ conventions, writers’ conferences, and women’s seminars. “Writing and speaking can be intimidating because in order to connect with your audience you need to be personal and transparent, exposing what’s in your heart and soul. But when readers or conference attendees respond positively to something I’ve said or written, it is humbling and rewarding all at the same time!” Crystal and her husband, Bob, have enjoyed 38 years of marriage and are the parents of 3 grown children and 1 grandchild. They live in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Palm Beach Gardens, Florid. http://www.crystalbowman.com/index.php?str_string=Bio~none~none

  1. As a retired elementary teacher, I know the importance of reading to children at an early age. More importantly, as a Christian I know the importance of teching young children about God and his promises at an early age. This book sounds great for both. I would love to have this for my little granddaughter Nellie. Thank you,

  3. What a wonderful way to capture a childs heart and mind with the bright and colorful illustrations as they learn the truth of Gods promises. So wonderful that there are scripture references to correspond to the promises. Its never to early to start building a childs biblical foundation.
