Roland is Here!
Who is that cute duckling? It's Roland! He's adventurous and ready for anything, including talking a fox, a crane, and a turtle into loving beautiful sunsets, God's creation.
Joshua gave it a five-star review on Amazon:
"Roland Looks for God is such a sweet book. My kids loved Roland’s curiosity and how even the “scary” animals were drawn in by the beauty of God’s creation. The illustrations are charming, and the message, that God’s handiwork brings us together, is uplifting. A wonderful read-aloud for families!"
(After you've read it, friends, please leave me a review, to help get the message out to others!)
