🌿 A Note from the Author

Hi, I’m Ariel Childs—author of The Island of Sheqer.
Before you read this sample, I want to tell you why I wrote it.

This story was born out of prayer, pain, and hope—and inspired by the wonderful youth at my church. It’s for kids (especially Black children) who’ve been overlooked or wounded and wonder if God still sees them. It’s for families who want stories that deal honestly with suffering but still point to truth, healing and redemption.

This is not a light, fluffy story. It’s real.
But it’s also full of hope, miracles, and a God who never forgets.

If you or your child are walking through questions of faith, injustice, or healing—I pray this first chapter reaches you.

Thank you for being here.

With love,
Ariel
