Sometimes, life throws us curveballs that feel like unintelligible scribbles hovering overhead. ⚾

However, just as adults experience hardships, kids may carry burdens too heavy for their small shoulders through no fault of their own. ️

And so, in those dark moments when it can be hard for us to see the light, one hopeful heart is reminding little ones that God will take their battles and transform them into blessings. ✨

Children’s Author, Kate Rietema, joins our John Masiulionis and Little Forrest on Episode #210 of PR From The Heart’s Children’s Books Spotlight Series to share her courageous journey, the release of her new children’s book, When God Makes Scribbles Beautiful (published by B&H Kids), the challenges she faced as a foster parent and how the brokenness she witnessed served as the catalyst for this powerful story, how the Bible helps kids to become stronger in their faith and more secure in themselves, the importance of teaching children to trust in divine timing and God’s plan, plus much more. ✝️
