Father God's Great Big Beautiful Secret

We have all seen beautiful Christmas cards and most of us have sung carols during the Christmas season, which depict pretty nativity scenes of Mary and Joseph with baby Jesus in a stable, in Bethlehem, beneath a brilliant star, surrounded by shepherds and three richly robed wise men. However, there are some differences between the traditional nativity scenes and how the event is depicted in the Biblical account. Were there really shepherds and Magi present together surrounded by curious animals and overlooked by an extraordinary star and multiple angels? What do the disciples say in their accounts? Some do not cover the birth of Jesus at all but the disciple we know as Luke has recorded it as it was told to him by Mary, mother of Jesus. Here we look more closely at Luke’s account and think about what happened from Father God’s perspective.

Fact check at Luke 2:8-20.

Eleanor the Elephant Goes Back to School Healthy (During Covid 19)

2020 will always live in infamy. The Covid-19 has kept us and our children from seeing friends and even loved ones. Eleanor the Elephant follows the story of an enthusiastic elementary schooler who is ready to get back in class and see her friends. But she wants to do so safely! Follow along in this family-friendly fable as Eleanor and her fellow classmates learn how to have proper hygiene to keep everyone safe.

Being a lola (Filipino grandmother) and a school nurse, Charlene Fields felt called to write Eleanor the Elephant so that her own grandchildren, and all of their friends, could feel cool and confident as schools started to reopen. This book is a way to teach important health protocol while maintaining the fun aspect of children’s literature. From our family to you, we hope you enjoy the book and learn from it!

Be well,

Charlene.

Eke the Echidna

What is an echidna? Is it a hedgehog? An anteater? Some kind of walking potato? Follow your field guide Eke as he traipses through the Australian bush and demonstrates some of the wonderful characteristics of these unusual Australian animals. Just please avoid being distracted by platypuses… they love the attention.

Edna the Witch

Edna isn’t your ordinary witch; she’s mischievous and delightful in equal measure. With several centuries under her belt, she has a quirky perspective on life and often finds herself in humorous predicaments, especially when she regards the folks around her as the odd ones.

Unlike us mere mortals, Edna isn’t bound by the usual consequences. Groundings? Docked allowances? Confiscated gadgets? Not for Edna, who amusingly thinks a tablet is just a remedy for headaches. Running low on gold coins? A quick spell showers her with riches. If only ‘them humans,’ as she fondly refers to us, could have it that easy!

Edna has a soft spot for her menagerie of pets, whether it’s her playful dog, melodious budgie, cuddly cat, or even her massive dinosaur. (Who knew a brontosaurus could be so endearing?) While she often finds humanity a tad irksome, she’s managed to coexist with the teeming billions of us. As for humanity ever fully embracing Edna’s peculiar charm? Well, that remains to be seen!

Ebony Makes A Big Orange Wish (Book 1)

After visiting her grandmother, Mrs Wonders, Mummy and Ebony have set about making an extraordinary cat cake. Ebony had certain ideas about the cake, colour, size, and length of whiskers.  

After a fall from a slide during her party, knocking her two front teeth out, her teeth were lost, no one could find Ebony’s teeth. They had hidden themselves and were very angry at not having the grand falling out ceremony they had planned.  

Ebony’s mummy is Fairy Queen of All Realms. Ebony doesn’t really understand any of that, she often thinks she sees a glimpse of gold above Mummy’s head or hears the gentle beat of butterfly wings but isn’t sure. Mummy allows Ebony to make her wish. Her BIG ORANGE WISH. The fun begins.
