A few years back I was going through a particularly difficult time and one day I cried out to God and asked Him that if He was with me, if He really cared, I needed a sign. I prayed that He would send me a feather. At the time it was the only thing I could think of. Little did I know at the time how powerful and significant this prayer would be over my life. Later that day I was outside weed eating and I had already forgotten about the prayer and down comes a feather! I had chills from head to toe that hot summer day! I kept that feather and continued mowing and there was another feather! That week I continued finding feathers everywhere. I was also finding them during moments of prayer or when a major problem was testing me and my husband. I have also come to notice when I share my story with others they begin to find feathers during particular moments in their lives. My neighbor who is also a good friend shared with me that her grandkids are now always finding feathers. They always come to her and say, "Look meme! A angel wing!" This is a fully illustrated book in color by Laurinda Brinson: I have been painting for 40+ years and am basically a self-taught artist. In my younger days I taught classes for a local craft store. One of my favorite jobs was working for a well-known furniture manufacturer doing hand painted furniture for about nine years. It never felt like a job because I was always doing what I loved and that was painting. During this time I was privileged to get to paint at Furniture Market and do some designing. I am retired from a public job now but stay busier than ever. In the last couple of years I have been illustrating children's books. This has challenged me in ways I never imagined, but I love learning how to do things. I never want to quit learning. I am also a self-taught jewelry artist and make jewelry to go with books of various writers. The Lord has blessed me in being able to create and make things easily. I give him all the credit. He has been my main teacher through the years and my inspiration.
About the Author: My name is Stacy Spence and I live in McEwen, Tennessee with my husband Claude Spence and my three dogs Sam, Buddy, and one of which is Sadie. I also have an indoor cat named LuluBell and feed many stray kitties. I would also love to have my own elephant so I guess you can say I'm a huge animal lover! I would like to share with you my testimony about the feathers and how this story came about. A few years back I was going through a particularly difficult time and one day I cried out to God and asked Him that if He was with me, if He really cared, I needed a sign.

My neighbor who is also a good friend shared with me that her grandkids are now always finding feathers. They always come to her and say, "Look meme! A angel wing!" One morning when I was outside with my pooches, the Lord spoke to me and said to write a children's book about the feathers through the eyes of a child. I was really surprised by this because I am not a creative person. I said, "Okay Lord, if this is really you and this is your will, you are going to have to write it. You will have to give me the words." Later that day I was thinking about what the Lord had told me and I decided that I would take notes for a possible story. Within 15 to 20 minutes this story was written. The Lord wrote this story through me and I dedicate this book to Him.
