Where in the World is Wilson? — a coloring book — is preparing to quietly arrive on Amazon.
Because of generous, anonymous donors, Wilson will also be making his way into hospital rooms.
That sentence still humbles me.
What remains now is not inspiration.
It’s logistics.
There are HIPAA considerations to honor. Distribution pathways to think through. Small but important marketing details to handle with care.
The unglamorous work of stewardship.
My illustrator, Helen M. Swearson, carried the creative weight of this project. She donated her labor as a gift — not for recognition, but to help bring hope to children walking difficult roads.
My quiet hope is that people see what I see.
A generous heart.
A steady light.
A woman whose soul is beginning to shine brighter than ever.
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16
This launch isn’t about spotlight.
It’s about placement.
A coloring book landing on a tray table beside a hospital bed.
Crayons in small hands.
A moment of distraction.
A flicker of imagination stronger than fear.
Thirty days feels both long and short.
But good things often take shape in the waiting.
Wilson is almost ready.
Not to perform.
But to serve.
