Writing Children's books with Belinda Dawn Allen

What keeps an author writing children's books long after the first one? In this episode, I sit down with Belinda Dawn Allen to talk about her journey as a Christian children's author, what first inspired her to write for young readers, and how twenty books later, she continues to create stories that point children and families to God. We also discuss the importance of slowing down, making room for meaningful family moments, and why some of life's greatest lessons are often found in the quiet, everyday experiences. If you love children's books or you're looking for stories that nurture both faith and family, you'll enjoy this conversation. About the Author Belinda Dawn Allen is a Christian children's author, minister, retired educator, grandmother, and PhD candidate in Clinical Pastoral Counseling. She is the creator of the Whispers from Heaven Children's Series, a growing collection of faith-filled books that encourage children and families to slow down, connect with one another, and discover God's presence in everyday moments. Through her stories, Belinda weaves Scripture, prayer, reflection, and interactive activities together to create meaningful reading experiences that continue long after the final page. Her passion is to equip parents, grandparents, educators, and ministry leaders with resources that strengthen children's faith and family relationships. As Belinda often says, "Sometimes the greatest lessons aren't loud... they're whispered."
