on short term mission trips with an organization called Aids Orphans and Street Children to
serve the needs of orphaned children in bush villages. She has camped in rural areas to sew school uniforms, to bring shoes for children who have never worn shoes, and to share the love of
Christ for those who have not heard the Gospel. During these trips, she has seen the desperate
circumstances of these beautiful and promising children, who wait for the door of opportunity
to open for them, and she has resolved to do what she can to let others know of their needs.
As a graduate from the University of Washington in Creative Writing, Jamie always dreamed of writing children’s stories about what God has done for others around the world, and this story
is the beginning of that dream. There are many more stories to tell of God’s faithfulness to the
orphans and Jamie hopes to relay more of them in the future to encourage others to take part
in the work God is doing in the children of Africa.
Rachel Land knew from an early age that she wanted to illustrate children’s books, and started
work on her first book, Only One Henrietta, at the age of 18. She graduated from the University
of Washington with a BA in painting and drawing and has since continued to pursue illustration.
She currently lives in Washington with her family, where she enjoys turning felt into small
animals, crocheting hats, and, of course, illustrating.lihat lebih sedikit
