I’m thrilled to report that one of my Roland picture books has won a finalist designation in the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) Kidlit Contest! ACFW is the premier Christian fiction writers’ organization, long focusing on works for adults, but now for children also.
Roland Looks for God is a 32-page picture book about a bold duckling, Roland, who leaves the nest to look for God in his neighborhood.
