GOD MANIFEST PUBLISHING RELEASES LITTLE MIRANDA'S DISCOVERY BY ALANNA TURNER
Little Miranda’s Discovery, Alanna Turner’s first children’s book, is an endearing story about an inquisitive little girl named Miranda who loves spending time with her grandmother, and who often shares nuggets of inspiration and wisdom with Miranda.
November 18, 2024, Las Vegas, NV — Alanna Turner, is a devoted single mom who also serves as a compassionate and skillful educator to students of all ages. Her close relationship with God has been an inspirational beacon of hope and a source of strength that has allowed her to persevere through the highs and lows of her life. Little Miranda’s Discovery is dedicated to Alanna’s son, Daryl.
“Daryl has been and continues to be the apple of my eye and my greatest of life’s accomplishments,” stated Alanna Turner. “I am both proud of the young man he has grown up to be and honored I was chosen to be his mom.”
Little Miranda’s Discovery is an endearing story of a little girl named Miranda who loves spending time with her grandmother, who lives on a large piece of land in a big, purple house that sits among a field of lilies. On this visit, little Miranda and her grandmother have enjoyed the day spending quality time sitting in Grandma’s favorite rocking chair on her lap on her big country porch, giggling at the bunnies and taking in the nature surrounding them. During this special time, little Miranda turns to her grandmother and asks some important questions about life. Look inside to see Grandma’s response and discover, along with Miranda, the beauty and simple message about God’s love.
“When I wrote this story, I was in my first year of teaching third grade and volunteering in the children’s ministry on Sundays,” said Alanna Turner. Working with small children for the first time in years, I realized how they viewed the world was so different from how I viewed it as a child. Due to my life’s circumstances, I had to grow up quickly and had forgotten what it was like to think as a child. I loved to write, so I remember asking God to show me how to write from a child’s perspective. God delivered and inspired me to write three children’s stories in a relatively short time. Little Miranda’s Discovery was the third story because I had asked God to now show me (after writing the first two) how to write a story about God from a child’s perspective. What was birthed from that request was a beautiful, warm story and message about the simplicity of God’s love through the eyes of Little Miranda.”
Little Miranda’s Discovery was written for children between 3-10 years old. However, people of all ages will fall in love with Miranda and relate to her endearing relationship with her loving grandmother.
“My first time reading through Little Miranda’s Discovery, I began to cry, as her story unfolded, a sign to me that though this is a book written for children, it is anointed by God,” stated Olivia Truong, Co-founder and CEO of God Manifest Publishing. “I am beyond excited to release this beautiful children’s book that will no doubt impact lives and plant seeds into the hearts and minds of children and parents everywhere.”
Little Miranda's Discovery is currently available in paperback on Amazon.com. The eBook (Kindle) will be released later this year.
