Jean Sings

“Church-going girls!” Mommy calls, and just like that, Sunday morning begins.

I wrote Jean Sings to share some of the ways my mother, Jean, taught us to love God in the middle of everyday life. She sang while she cooked Sunday dinner, prayed with us before we headed down the road, and called us her “daughters of Zion.” Now that I’m a mother, I hear her words in the things I say to my own children.

This illustrated Christian children’s book is meant to be read aloud and shared. At the end, there’s a page with questions to help your family talk about the songs, prayers, and stories you want to pass down.
