 Help Us Bring Lifted by Love to Life: A Faith-Filled Children's Book Anthology
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>We are four award-winning children's authors—Kirthana J. Fanning, Ellen Kolman, Karen Ferguson, and Jennifer Noel Wilson—who came together with one dream: to create a beautiful collection of stories that encourage children and point them toward faith, hope, and God's love, to be published by Read Believe Grow Publishing, an independent Christian publisher.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 What if every child grew up knowing they have a purpose, they belong, they can be courageous, and God's promises never fail? That is the heart behind Lifted by Love.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our anthology features four heartwarming animal stories:
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Pip the Bluebird Finds Her Voice – A story about discovering your God-given purpose.
</div>
<div>
 Little Luka and the Lost Sheep – A reminder that no one is ever forgotten.
</div>
<div>
 God's Love Is Bigger Than Giants – A story of courage and trusting God.
</div>
<div>
 Theo and the First Christmas – A beautiful reminder that God's promises are always worth waiting for.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The manuscripts for all four stories are complete, and we've spent countless hours developing our characters and envisioning the world of Lifted by Love.
</div>
<div>
 To help communicate our vision during the early creative process, we used AI-assisted concept artwork.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Please note: The images shown throughout this fundraiser are concept illustrations only.
</div>
<div>
 Our dream has always been to create a professionally illustrated, beautifully produced children's book featuring original artwork created by professional artists. The final illustrations may differ from the concept images shown here, but they will be uniquely crafted to bring these stories to life.

 Why this book matters:
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 As parents, grandparents, teachers, and authors, we believe stories have the power to shape hearts. A single story can remind a child they matter, help them face their fears, strengthen their faith, and show them that they are deeply loved by God. Our prayer is that Lifted by Love becomes a cherished keepsake that families read together for years to come.
