Why I Created the Dannie Dalmatian Series
I grew up reading many children's stories with Christian values interwoven within them. Some were excellent, and others...not so good (to put it kindly). Nowadays, it seems quite hard to come by stories that are, at their core, rooted in Scripture. Most children's stories are designed to help one "feel good" and they lack any kind of emotional or spiritual depth. I created Dannie to help bridge that gap -- to assist parents and children alike in teaching Christian values and principles that are rooted in the Bible and applied to every day scenarios.It is my hope and prayer that you are blessed as you encounter the timeless Truth's laid out within the Dannie Dalmatian series.
