A Rabbit Named Happy Feet was inspired by another story. I wanted to write a children’s story to make the Bible come alive to them. God is no respecter of persons, and he can use children as well as grownups for his purpose. God has a sense of humor. He has made each and every one of us for his purpose, like the song that says, “He is the potter and I am the clay.”Each of us must find our own unique purpose in life. I want to share the gospel story with as many as I can in such a way that a child can understand it. I’ve gone to church just about all my life, and I am glad to be a part of the family of God.
