About A.P. Grace and Friends
At A.P. Grace and Friends, we believe every child deserves to feel understood, valued, and loved. Our faith-based children's books tackle real-world challenges that kids face, such as anger, adoption, autism, bullying, self-identity, and even difficult topics like child trafficking and cancer. Through engaging and heartfelt stories, we aim to show children how much God loves them and help them navigate life's struggles with hope and courage.
Our mission goes beyond storytelling. We strive to empower parents to recognize the subtle signs—through words or body language—that a child may be struggling. Each book is designed to create conversations between parents and children, fostering understanding and offering a path toward healing and victory with God’s guidance.
Don’t wait for life’s challenges to sort themselves out. Take an active role in your child’s journey today. With A.P. Grace and Friends, you’re not just reading stories—you’re building a foundation of faith, hope, and love.
