Hi, I'm Shirley Francis-Salley, a children's ministry teacher and author. For more than 10 years I have been dedicated to a mission of finding ways to make the word of God appealing and practical in the daily lives of children of all ages.
My love of children and writing led me to become a field writer creating articles, short stories, skits, Bible dramas, song lyrics, board games, Sunday school lessons and lesson plans for some well known Christian publishers.
My vision is to bring children to the realization that they are of great value to God and His Kingdom, and to help them understand that even at their tender ages they can make a difference in the lives of others.
