Autorenporträt
Melissa Harrell is a wife, mother of three, and a family therapist. Her days are filled with all the "stuff" that makes up American life. Herding kids, carpool, work, laundry, cooking, finding everyone's lost items, and in general just a constant feeling of always being behind! In 2012, she had the opportunity to travel to Kenya to visit a group of orphans her church sponsors through ZOE. It was during this visit that she encountered a young orphan named Stella who showed her the most beautiful example of sacrificial love she had ever witnessed. After returning home she felt an incredible burden to share the story of how these children with almost insurmountable challenges had triumphed through Christ into self-sufficient, amazing young people. As a mother and therapist she also wanted to empower children that they are never too young to make a difference and that no act is too small. She lives with her husband, three children, and two rascally cats in Goldsboro, North Carolina. About the Illustrator: Amy Burkhardt Fetzer is a painter & mixed media artist who is in love with every detail of God's amazing creation. She is ever thankful for the chance to make works which may show the truth and beauty in how He works among us. She earned her BFA in 1993 from Binghamton University. She and her husband, Brian, are raising their three children in Raleigh, North Carolina where they enjoy playing soccer together while their dog, Jane, waits patiently with a tennis ball in her mouth and their cat, Mater, keeps the couch warm.
