A few years ago my friend J. D. Crowley and I wrote a book on the conscience. Our target audience was adults, not children.
Then my daughter Kara, who was eight years old at the time, asked me if I would write a book on the conscience for children. How could I say no to that?
So I attempted to write my first children’s book (which releases this week):
Andrew David Naselli. That Little Voice in Your Head: Learning about Your Conscience. Illustrated by Julie Carter. Fearn, Scotland: Christian Focus, 2018.
- 6-page sample PDF
- Available from Amazon and Westminster Bookstore
The book targets children ages 4–10. It’s is a series of conversations between a little girl named Emma and her Mommy. (Julie Carter, the illustrator, drew pictures of the little girl, the Mommy, and their home based on pictures of my daughter Emma, my wife, Jenni, and our home.)
