Sharon Gaetz Buryn Ducommun is a 70-year-old widow at the time of writing this true story based on the Biblical accounts. Sharon (Nana) wanted to share these truths in a simple way with her grandchildren but also with all children. May the light of God’s love begin a longing in these children to know more about God and have a personal relationship with him. That is Sharon’s desire and prayer.
