Do we let others hijack our day, giving them the power to steal our joy? Do we walk in the identity God gave us, or do we let others, those experts of the world, tell us who we are?
Meet Bella, a positively cheerful caterpillar venturing out to find her special place. Join her as she travels and faces these questions. Witness God's transformative power and, in the end, see how His design naturally makes a positive impact in the lives of others.
Just Smile, and Say Hello! is a playful, interactive story written to engage readers of all ages. There are lessons in forgiveness and good manners, and messages showing God is the true source of our joy and identity. Mature readers can consider how even our simplest actions positively impact the world and contemplate their own relationship with the Lord.
Joseph Ciavardone was an engineering professional for almost three decades before obeying the call to leave his career. As a first-time author and illustrator, he is excited to offer a collection of three books to serve as a witness to the goodness of God. With the Word of God as his compass, Joseph uses personal experiences and hard-learned lessons in his walk with the Lord Jesus to bring messages of hope and encouragement to others.
