About the Author

Norma Ching was born and raised in Kona, Hawaii. Her father, Antone Texeira, was a well-respected principal of the school her whole family attended, and where they resided. Her mother, Evangeline, raised nine children, of which Norma Jane was the youngest. She spent twenty-five years with the Department of Education as a Kindergarten, first grade, and reading teacher. After marrying Wilfred Ching in 1956, she had four children, Mike, Lisa, Patrick, and Colette. In 1997, the author suffered a major stroke, and a year later survived brain surgery. Today she is totally healed and credits God's healing power for her full recovery. Throughout the years she received poems from the Holy Spirit that she collected and saved, writing each in a single sitting. The words just flowed.

The illustrator, Patrick Ching, Norma Ching's son, is a world-renowned wildlife and nature artist. His paintings complement the author's poems.
