Author Information

Hello, my name is Halle Cajou. I was raised in a Haïtian household where fascinating stories of love, drama, betrayal, and death were consistently being recounted as real-life or political events. ​When not eavesdropping on these exaggerated tales I was devouring a book when I should have been doing my homework. In later years, I realized many of these same themes are in the Bible. Today my ambition is to inspire children all over the world with my own extraordinary tales of God's love and the power in allowing his spirit to live on the inside of us.
