Don’t You Know, written in rhyme, tells the story of a boy who experiences painful family conflict that keeps him awake at night. Answers come from his patient grandmother, who points out how we all need God’s help. As she guides him, he learns to pray and to trust God.

Look inside

This book helps children who are hurting because of any kind of trouble in their house. It assures them that the trouble is not their fault and helps them find comfort in God.

Meeting a Need

This story was requested by a grandpa who was concerned about his grandchildren’s struggles over their parents’ divorce.

Ginger began writing the story based on her experiences working with children as a public school teacher, plus traveling with a variety of presentations in kid’s camps, churches, libraries, and schools.

After she began writing she realized her need for advice from counselors and pastors. But the final pages were written after an experience in prayer. She awoke in the night hearing, “Teach them to pray.”

Her ultimate goal is to get this to children, because Jesus said, “You must become as a little child.” And from experience she knows that kids can pray FAITH-filled prayers when they know who to talk to.
