"The animals convey the message of what the world desires us to be. However, in the end, the animals learn that God desires all to be as the WORD requires."
Rebecca was born and raised in Pennsylvania. She taught in the public schools for 30 years, specializing in elementary education. Through the years, she has served in church as a youth leader, director of children's music ministry, and in numerous other children's and women's ministries. She's a wife, mother, and grandmother, now retired and lives in Tennessee with her husband. In 2014, the first book in the IT'S ALL ABOUT series was published; although, the stories had been written many years earlier. It was during the deepest darkest hours of her life that writing became a comfort to her. Struggling through the passing of her 29 year old son, life became difficult in many ways. Grief weighed heavy; relationships suffered; health issues prevailed, and depression set in.
However, her brother encouraged her to write, and her passion was to tell children and parents about God's salvation plan. So, she wrote and filed these little stories away. God had a healing plan, and after becoming a grandmother, the stories came to fruition when she and her brother realized they had a vision to fulfill. Each book is in honor of the life and memory of her son Christopher. He knew Jesus in his heart, and Rebecca desires others to know HIM too. God took these scribbled little stories, used her brother as an illustrator, and together they gave God praise for an accomplishment totally orchestrated by HIM. Praise God!

There are five books in the IT'S ALL ABOUT children's series. Each book stands alone and features delightfully illustrated animals. Illustrations are done by Rebecca's brother, Robert Klar. The animals convey the message of what the world desires us to be. However, in the end, the animals learn that God desires all to be as the WORD requires. Tall, Small, Strong, Tough, or Smart, what truly matters is Jesus in your heart. The books conclude with the salvation message and activities to do with friends and family.
