You: A Special Gift
A heart-warming, beautifully illustrated tale for the special people who light up your life
A heart-warming, beautifully illustrated tale for the special people who light up your life
This heart-warming picture book is a treasured gift for the special ones in your life. It is a story to share about the light we each bring to others in our own unique way.
You: A Special Gift tells the tale of a Little Lightbearer, who lights the way for his first group of walkers along The Path. The Path begins in a village and leads up a hillside to a hilltop, which glows in dazzling light. However, The Path has been neglected by the villagers, making it difficult to find the correct way. When lost in the dark forest, the Little Lightbearer and the walkers are found by the man in white, who glows with light and leads them on.
This reassuring story reflects life's twists and turns, but through our hope and joy, love and kindness, we shine bright for one another. Life can sometimes be confusing, and we can doubt ourselves, but we are not alone, and support can be found around us as we journey together.
There's a deeper meaning, too, based on Bible wisdom about the source of the light that we shine out to others. A holy presence is with us through life's journey, providing the light of hope and strength in the darkness, enabling us to continue being bearers of that light for others.

She is a licensed lay minister at her local parish church, leading worship and actively involved with children and youth work, and enjoys singing, drama and dance (which comes in very useful when co-ordinating the children-led Nativity service each year).

Her love of film noir and nature are the main inspirations for her illustrations with their exaggerated compositions, atmosphere, bright colours and fun characters that create images that intrigue and impact imaginations.
