Donna J. Shepherd, writer, speaker, and singer, looks at everyday life and finds God's fingerprints everywhere. She is a columnist for The Dabbling Mum, NABBW, and CWAHM. Her articles and poetry have been published in Reminisce Extra, Just Between Us, Guideposts for Kids, Wee Ones, and more. Her devotionals appear in Daily Grace for Women (Honor Books), Anytime Prayers for Everyday Moms (Warner Books), and The Best Grandma in the World (Howard Books) to name a few.

Donna’s first book for children, Topsy Turvy Land (Hidden Pictures Publishing), has been described by one reviewer as "a perfect read for young children." Ouch! Sunburn! (Guardian Angel Publishing) contains snappy rhymes along with 15 colorful and fun illustrations by Kevin Scott Collier, and helps children see the need to protect their skin in the sun. Sun Safety Tips in the back of the book reinforce the book's theme. Kevin and Donna teamed up again with Guardian Angel Publishing on No More Gunk! - a humorous book for kids about taking care of teeth.

In Chizzy's Topsy Tale, Donna J. Shepherd's whimsical rhymes speed Chizzy and his best friend, Dotty, into the jungle on a whirlwind search for tempting fruit. Kevin Scott Collier illustrates Chizzy's rollicking escapades with a deft and humorous touch. Solid values, like helping a friend in need and minding Momma, make Chizzy's Topsy Tale a wonderful read-aloud choice. Suggested age for readers: 2-6.   

Dotty's Topsy Tale released in 2009 from Guardian Angel Publishing introduces a purple baby hippo named Violet into the inspirational series to explore the topic of discrimination. Kevin created 14 fun, colorful illustrations for the book.
