Lee Ann Mancini, Author of Adventures of the Sea Kids series, Interview from CBA Unite
Have you been looking for a series of books that would teach your kids about having a relationship with Jesus and not just a story about Jesus? Well look no further, Lee Ann has done just that with the Adventures of the Sea Kids series. She originally wrote the stories 20 years ago for her own children. Later she felt God calling her to share these stores with others. She takes the adventures even further with activities on her website that align with the books. During the interview, Lee Ann shares the inspiration for many of her stories. We ended the interview looking for the secret pictures on the page.
Takeaways from my interview with Lee Ann:
- Kids learn cognitive abilities in the first 3 years of life
- Kids should learn about how to have a relationship with Jesus and not just hear stories about him
- Fun tidbit: there is a secret picture on each of the pages
- Personal thoughts: What am I doing today that God may use 20 years from now….
