Crystal Bowman loves writing books for kids. Her books come in all shapes and sizes and many of them have become best sellers. Whether her stories are written in playful rhythm and rhyme, or short sentences for beginning readers, she tries to make them so enjoyable that kids will want to read them over and over again. "But the most important part," she says, "is to teach children that God loves them and cares about them very much." You can find Claudine diving the oceans with Technicolor fish, camel riding in the Sahara, trekking in a jungle populated with wild monkeys, or exploring the African savanna in search of huge elephants. Although adventurous, she sometimes gets scared when coming upon a giant spider or other scary beasts. At that time she heads back to the comfort of her studio, where she draws all the wonderful things she saw and dreams of her next visit to faraway lands.
Hanging Christmas stockings has become a holiday tradition. But where did that custom come from? It all began with a kind-hearted, God-loving man! Through charming couplets, author Crystal Bowman takes us back in time to the origins of the Christmas stocking tradition. Children and adults alike will smile with delight as they learn why and how this custom came about. Die-cut in the shape of a Christmas stocking, "My Christmas Stocking" helps put gift-giving in perspective. Parents, grandparents, and preschool teachers will find this lovely story a joy to read many times over.
