My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 KJVc

Hello to all! 

Writing triggers my spirit, allowing me to delve deeply into the minds and hearts of children. This is my newest book about Psalm 23 and The Good Shepherd.

Bravo! “A mark of distinction.”

MJ Hayes is the recipient of three Silver 2nd place Medallion from the National Mom’s Choice Award. The books selected were Emma’s House of Sound, Emma’s Freaky Sneaker’s, and Dakota Help Me See the Light.

Testimonial

 

As the parent of a child with special needs, I love how Emma confronts those who tease her. She is brave. I also love the creativity the teacher uses to show the other students Emma’s world. Every child should have such a great teacher. The study guide at the end adds a wonderful element for those who may have difficulty explaining the topic.
