Nathan and Joy’s book, The Clubhouse, comes out today!

I’m so excited to be releasing my book so close to theirs, because the ideas of imagination found in Nathan and Joy’s book actually connect to my book, Help I’m Drowning, in ways you might never imagine.

Clay and I decided early on to foster and celebrate imagination in the hearts of our children. We exposed them to the greatest stories, bought them costumes, listened to books on tape, and yes, even built them clubhouses.

We believed that when you encourage the gift of imagination in a child, one where they can envision themselves as the hero of the story, whether that’s in a castle, a wagon, a spaceship, or even riding a dragon, that will prepare them to conquer the storms they will face in their own lives.

We must prepare our children for the storms they will face in this world, and imagination is one of the best tools we can give them to do this. When they learn that monsters can be overcome in their backyard, they will believe that monsters can be overcome in their lives.

The Clubhouse is out now, and Help I’m Drowning is available for preorder. We hope these books will encourage, equip, and delight both your children and yourselves. Get your copy today!
