An Egg called Easter
A lost egg. Two caring friends. One beautiful story that helps children understand the true meaning of Easter.
One sunny afternoon, Chip the woodchuck and Ginger the Highland calf are playing hide-and-seek near their favorite pond when they discover something unexpected…A large white egg lying all alone.
Concerned for the tiny life inside, the two friends begin a search through the forest to find the egg’s mother. Along the way they learn that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference.
But when the egg finally begins to hatch, wise Old Paul the owl shares the beautiful story of the first Easter — the day Jesus rose from the tomb and brought hope and new life to the world.
What if God’s answers aren’t loud… but gentle?
Eli loves to pray big, bold, and LOUD.
But when Gram hurts her ankle and nothing seems to change, Eli begins to wonder if God is listening at all.
That’s when Gram shares a quiet secret:
God doesn’t always shout His answers.
Sometimes… He whispers.
With charming illustrations by Rick Tyler, this uplifting story shows little ones that God is near, God is kind, and God’s voice can be heard in the quiet moments.
A gentle whisper
On a snowy winter night, a curious woodchuck named Chip wakes to a mysterious cry echoing through the forest. Following the sound, he discovers Ginger — a young Highland cow who wandered too far from her pasture while chasing a trail of twinkly lights.
With the help of Old Paul, a wise owl who watches over the woods, the new friends journey through the snow, guided by a gentle glow that leads them to something far more wonderful than they ever expected: a bright Christmas tree, a quiet wooden nativity, and the true meaning of Christmas.
Wonder of the Twinkly Lights is a beautifully illustrated Christmas story that gently points children to the light of Jesus, reminding readers that we are never truly lost when we follow Him.

FAQ’s
I feel honored and blessed to be the debut author of a brand new Biblically-based publishing house. To have the opportunity to work with a publisher who is a sister in Christ and shares my vision to provide families with books that are Jesus focused is indeed a dream come true.
Kirthana Fanning of Read Believe Grow Publishing is knowledgeable, professional, and encouraging. This is a publishing house built on prayer and a sincere love for Christ and children. I love every minute we get to work together, and I hope we will continue for a long time.

Working with RGB Publishing transformed my manuscript into a polished, market-ready children's book. Ms. Fanning and her team demonstrated genuine expertise at every stage—from developmental editing, illustrations and cover design. They understood my vision and provided clear guidance without overshadowing my voice. I appreciated their transparent communication and realistic timeline, which moved much faster than I could imagine. I am very pleased with RGB and hope to have more work published by them. If you're serious about publishing quality work, I'd recommend them without hesitation.
