✦ About the Author

A Story Written in Quiet Moments of Motherhood

I am Ashaya Marie: a mama, a creator, and a child of God. Growing up, my life was a journey of constant change. I moved 18 times by high school, an experience that broadened my heart and taught me how to connect with people from all walks of life. Through every new city and every season, the Lord has been my constant, beautiful influence.

My calling began at sixteen when I felt the Lord speak to me about writing for children. Today, I find my greatest inspiration in the quiet moments at home while my own children take their naps. It is in that stillness that I pick up my notebook and draw the stories I want the next generation to hold close.

"After moving eighteen times, I finally found my constant home in His love, and now I write so that every little one can find that same peace in every season of their life."

God took every hard road of my past and turned it into a garden of grace, where I can now plant seeds of hope and kindness. He took me from a very hard road and turned it into a life that is full and truly enjoyed...

Seeds of Faith, Blossoms of Joy

“I read this to my kindergarten class and the room went completely silent. The children were captivated, and then they started asking the most beautiful questions about God. I was moved to tears.”

“It is rare to find a book that captures a child’s attention while teaching such profound spiritual truths. This is a must-have for every church library and early childhood classroom.”

“My daughter struggles with the dark, but reading about how God takes care of the flowers helped her feel so much safer. She now remembers that she is seen and known by Him every single night.”

Teacher’s Corner

The Power of Story

Faith-based stories are vital for early childhood development because they provide a safe, gentle foundation for understanding the world. I love visiting classrooms to show children that they are cherished.

Arora’s Inspiration

Why a Flower?

I chose a flower to represent a child’s prayer life because growth is a beautiful, patient process. Just like Arora, every child has a unique voice that is meant to bloom.
