It’s not everyday that a 5-year-old writes a book so I had to share this with you. Kids, no matter how old (or young) can have their own side hustle and make a difference too!
Kyla McKenzie, age 5, is the coauthor along with her mother, Monique McKenzie, of the newly released children’s picture book, My God is Awesome! The great work illustrates the wondrous creations of God through the eyes of five-year-old Kyla.
Through breathtaking watercolor hand-paintings by world-renowned illustrator Dr. Jan Spivey Gilchrist and emotive text authored by the mother-daughter team, children and adults are reminded that God’s awesomeness should be appreciated and respected in life’s most simple pleasures.
This work is important because:
- The book was showcased at the American Library Association Conference in Las Vegas, NV this past June.
- Kyla is one of the youngest published authors on record.
- The book is inspirational for children and adults.
- They were intentional in selecting children of all nationalities and backgrounds as models.
- The artwork by Hall-of-Famer Jan Spivey Gilchrist is simply awesome!
- Available on amazon.com and Kindle
