Christian Newswire/ -- Will Joey succeed in earning the King's love? Buckle your seatbelt to find out! KD Mane's new children's picture book, "When Rocks Cry Out", ($11.99, paperback, 9781498412810; $5.99, e-book, 9781498412827) is sure to delight both young and young at heart with its jungle adventure, humorous narrator viewpoint, and charming watercolors by Terri Walters.
This creative picture book will not only entertain, but also help pave the way to understand God's love and grace. Allegorical biblical themes include: God's love, grace, call to follow Him, salvation, and becoming a new creation. Many will identify with Joey's desire and attempts for the King's approval in their own quest for God's love and acceptance.
"Pressure to excel—whether self-induced or from society's expectations—begins at a young age," says author KD Manes. "This can lead to frustration, low self-esteem, and eventually burnout. Even Christians can find themselves caught in this furious cycle when forgetting that God's love runs deeper and wider than our love. His grace gives us what we don't deserve."
Author KD Manes received a Bachelor Degree in Elementary Education and an endorsement in Special Education. She has taught K-8 grades for several years in both the school and church settings. KD lives in the northwest with her husband and three kids.
