THE childREN’s BOOK OF abc CHARACTER QUALITIES

by KIERA AND KEZIA knox

Author and illustrator duo, Kiera and Kezia, have their first children’s board book coming out! This lovely board book features hand-painted illustrations from children lending helping hands to what obedience may look like. Every child needs to know the importance of good character traits and this book, with its whimsical and beautiful nature, does just that. Kiera and Kezia Knox are two young ladies with massive talent ready to help the next generation know God’s big little truths for their lives. As a writer and artist team living in Canada with their family, they desire to bring God glory through their work.

The Girl Whose Frown Shook the Ground is a short chapter book sprinkled with poetry, written with all ages in mind but focused on ages 5-11, that brings us back to God-inspired fairytale beauty, goodness, and truth. It reveals that each of us is a sinner in need of saving and that this world still carries the beauty of our Creator in it. True to fairy tale form, the characters are nameless, so readers may feel connected to any character as the Lord convicts their hearts. In short, this story will bring our children (and their adults) closer to Jesus. It will be a long-lasting book, good for read-alouds for pre-readers, independent reading for grade school readers, and classic reading for teens through adults.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
