NEW! MOVING WORDS ABOUT A FLOWER

The inspiring story of a dandelion that survives against all odds, ingeniously told through shape poems (also called "concrete poems") full of visual surprises.

When it rains, letters fall from the sky; and when seeds scatter, words FLY! Each playful page will have readers looking twice. The back of the book includes more information about the life cycle of the humble, incredible dandelion.

Faith that God Build (Books Series)

Illustrations for a series of 4 children bible story picture books. 

The Faith that God Built series by Gary Bower uses the same whimsical style of storytelling as The House that Jack Built, using rhyme to introduce preschoolers through second graders to favorite Bible stories. 

The Beautiful Garden of Eden tells the story of Adam and Eve’s disobedience, allowing sin to ruin what was perfect and beautiful. In Patch on the Peak of Ararat, Noah follows God’s plan, resulting in his rescue from destruction. The Hurry-Up Exit from Egypt takes readers along as Moses leads God’s people out of slavery in Egypt and toward the Promised Land. In The Frightening Philippi Jail, Paul and Silas praise the Lord in a difficult and unfair situation.

Publishing Spring and Summer 2017, Tyndale.
