Dawn Stephens debuts as writer and illustrator of "The Little Pot" (40 pages, bPlus Books, $17.95), a tale about inevitable reversals and patience and fulfillment.
In "The Little Pot," a potter lovingly forms a pot and declares that he has important plans for his creation. The pot wonders what its purpose will be. Will it hold important documents? Great riches? Beautiful flowers?
As its expectations prove wrong, the pot is cautioned to wait and see. Gradually, the pot realizes that its creator knows best and has the most wonderful use planned for it.
The message for young readers is that, like the little pot, they were designed to be vessels that bear "fruit."
"The Little Pot" is planned for release this spring.
