Sneak Peek: Stellaās Big Idea šāØ
Hereās a little taste of what you can expect in Stella Starās Chicken Farm:
Stella Star smiled as the sun peeked over the peach trees, casting a golden glow across her little farm. She could hear the soft clucking of her chickens from the coop, a sound that always made her heart light. Today was feeding day, and Stella couldnāt wait to spend time with her feathered friends. However, it wasnāt just any ordinary day on the farmāStella had something exciting planned.
āGood morning, Skittles!ā Stella called out as she stepped into the chicken pen. Her favorite Wyandotte bantam rooster, Skittles, strutted over, his colorful feathers gleaming in the sunlight.
Skittles gave a cheerful crow, as if to say, āGood morning to you too!ā
As she scattered the feed, Stella thought about what she had learned in Sunday School the day before. The lesson was on stewardshipātaking care of what God had given youāand it got her thinking about her chickens in a whole new way.
Inspired by the idea of sharing her joy, Stella pitches a brilliant plan to her parents: inviting the elderly from the nursing home to come visit her farm! Will her chickens help brighten someoneās day? š
Whatās Next for Stella? šæ
As I continue to write Stellaās story, Iām constantly reminded of the lessons we can teach our children about caring for Godās gifts, whether itās animals, nature, or relationships. Through Stella Starās Chicken Farm, I hope to show young readers how even the smallest acts of stewardship can make a big impact. I canāt wait to see how Stellaās journey will resonate with families and readers of all ages.
This cover is just the beginning! Stay tuned for more updates as Stellaās adventure continues to unfold. š
Inspiring Children to Be Stewards šāØ
One of the main goals of this story is to inspire young readers to become stewards of what theyāve been given. Whether itās helping around the house, caring for pets, or even reaching out to help a friend, thereās always an opportunity to practice stewardship. As parents and caregivers, we can model this in everyday life and encourage our children to take small steps toward becoming responsible, compassionate individuals.
Thank you all for following along on this journey with Stella! Itās a joy to share the creative process with you, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the cover and the story itself. š»
