In 2015, Amy’s daughter had a school assignment to write a short story. The mother-daughter team delighted in adding extra details and facts (“rabbit trails”) to her daughter’s Egyptian cat story. A month later, feeling led in prayer, Amy began to write a series of Christian character-based books, of which the first book in the series is the elaborated Egyptian cat story. Over a three-week Christmas break, the framework for the series and the rough drafts of half of the books were completed. Amy is a devoted Christian, wife, and mother to two kids and five rescued pets. The rescued animals consist of one cat, one dog, and three rabbits. The three rabbits are the hostesses of the books. Amy likes to volunteer at church, in youth outreach ministry, and in small and exotic animal rescue. All of them live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. From living with a popular name, she acquired the habit of signing her name and art as “AmyG.”

To Parents and Teachers:

What is different about the Rabbit Trails books?

The reason the series exists is to bring glory to God and to feed His children. Ninety percent of the profits go to feeding and rescuing children, and the dog adoption book feeds rescues.

All the books start with the Word of God and have a short story to show how the Bible relates to everyday living. They show that the Bible is not a book to close, but a recipe for living abundantly.

Many kids balk at switching from colorful children’s books to black-and-white chapter books. Right at the age when learning develops into lifelong enjoyment, the dread of reading can hamper their progress. The format and the content of the Rabbit Trails books are designed to aid a love for learning.

Lastly, the term rabbit trail is an idiom meaning the discussion has taken fun and interesting tangents. All the Rabbit Trails books encourage a passion for science, history, art, and more. After the main story, related content is added in fun bite-sized portions. This allows kids to dive down a rabbit hole and discover more about the time-period or the animal in the story, as the stories are fact-based fiction.

I pray the wonderful creations of the Lord may never cease to amaze the hearts of His children.
