Books with author Sheena Williamson

Hope and Anna love seeing each other at church. When a Sunday grace offering is collected to help lift up Anna’s homeless family, Hope begins to ask questions and has a unique opportunity to learn what grace looks like, both for her and for Anna’s immigrant family. This touching story teaches children that God showers grace that is meant to be shared—allowing us all to be GraceFull! In this follow up to her first two books, ColorFull and ThoughtFull, Dorena Williamson opens a dialogue on the tough subjects of poverty and homelessness and offers children encouragement to show God’s grace and love to others whose home life or homeland might look very different than their own.

This encouraging story shows how life changes when we learn to value those who are differently abled and to champion the power of thoughtfulness. Author Dorena Williamson explores the need to be "thoughtFULL"—full of thoughtfulness and awareness, particularly with those who have special needs. In this delightful story, it's awards day at school, and Ahanu (a boy with Down Syndrome) earns the award for being thoughtful. Later, when his friend Joshua sees others making fun of Ahanu, it's Joshua's turn to be thoughtful by supporting his differently abled friend. While doing so, Joshua learns important lessons about friendship, disabilities, and the value we each have as God's children. Also available in this series: ColorFull: Celebrating the Colors God Gave Us. This B&H Kids book includes a Parent Connection, an easy tool to help moms and dads (or anyone else who loves kids) discuss the book's message with their child. We're all about connecting parents and kids to each other and to God's Word.

It is the spring of 1748, two years after Liam, Ailis, and their deerhound Duncan have made the long, dangerous journey from Culloden’s bloody battlefield to the western Scottish highlands. Still haunted by memories of the dead and dying, the two teens have nonetheless found comfort and safety in each other with Liam’s grandparents on Loch Maree.However, their idyllic life—and plans for an upcoming wedding—are abruptly put on hold when they find a mysterious young man washed up on the loch’s shore, a young man who claims to have no memory of who is or how he got there. So why is the British army looking for him? And how is his sudden appearance connected to the eerie singing coming from the islet in the middle of the loch, which only Ailis is able to hear?
