Ly-Lan And The New Class Mix Up
$8.99Sometimes things don’t turn out the way we plan! In this chapter book series about a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, Ly-Lan navigates her life as a new third grader–complete with old and new friends, unexpected (and disappointing) changes at home and school, and finding a way to thrive.
Third grade is not starting the way Ly-Lan pictured. First, her best friend Cece is put in another class–even after Ly-Lan prayed they would be in the same one. And then Ly-Lan is tasked with showing the new Vietnamese student around. Ly-Lan wants to hang out with Cece, not play translator to the new girl, and she doesn’t understand why her prayers aren’t being answered. If Ly-Lan is going to flourish in third grade, she must learn to trust in God’s plans, especially when it means making some adjustments to her own.

*Perfect for kids ages 6 and up or reluctant or emerging readers just starting to read chapter books on their own.

Treasure With A Face
$13.99A Perpetaul Light Publishing Title
Twelve-year-old Eli lives in ancient Israel and dreams of being a treasure hunter instead of his uncle’s metal-smithing apprentice. Uncle Shem is the kind of man who would tell Jesus that He walked on water the wrong way.
When Uncle Shem reluctantly sends the boy on a 120-mile journey to Jerusalem to deliver a fragile mirror, it seems like an impossible mission for a clumsy apprentice. Eli resolves not only to redeem himself in the eyes of his uncle, but also to begin his life as a real treasure hunter. He aims to find nothing less than the Ark of the Covenant! Of course flames reportedly shoot out the bottom of the Ark, and people who touch it tend to die, but that’s not going to deter Eli.
When a mysterious stranger, who seems to share a secret past with Uncle Shem, gives Eli a worn Roman artifact, the boy never imagines how much he’ll appreciate the object during the perilous journey ahead. Enemies await both along the way and within Jerusalem’s imposing walls.
And there’s another reason to visit the City of David in AD 33: Jesus. For who other than the all-knowing Son of God might know where to find the ultimate treasure?

Its Storytime Memaw
$19.99Have you ever desired to instill in your child that God desires their whole heart? That He is ever present and in all that we do? That God desires for their light, the light of Jesus, to shine ever so brightly?
God answered the author’s prayer for just that! For years, her grandchildren insisted on “Memaw, storytime!” But she had no imagination. She prayed, “God, give me Your story. They need You in their lives.” She began a journal of the stories a few years ago. Many of the stories are based on her family’s true life experiences. They deal with salvation, faith, hope, the power of God, rebellion, forgiveness, and more. This is a small collection of those stories. JoAnn Vicknair had never written a book and never had a desire to. But, she decided to type up the stories from her journal so her grandchildren could practice reading with stories that they love. During that process, God told her to have them published.
