Crystal Bowman loves writing books for kids. Her books come in all shapes and sizes and many of them have become best sellers.

"But the most important part," she says, "is to teach children that God loves them and cares about them very much." You can find Claudine diving the oceans with Technicolor fish, camel riding in the Sahara, trekking in a jungle populated with wild monkeys, or exploring the African savanna in search of huge elephants. Although adventurous, she sometimes gets scared when coming upon a giant spider or other scary beasts. At that time she heads back to the comfort of her studio, where she draws all the wonderful things she saw and dreams of her next visit to faraway lands.
