This book is dedicated to my grandchildren, each precious image-bearers of our great Creator God.

I wish to give special thanks for:

• God, Creator, Redeemer, who gives me worth and value.
• My “anytime-of-the-day-or-night” friends, Kym and Andrew Snelling, whose counsel on writing for children has been invaluable.
• My friend, Karen Mangus, who helped me develop the Monkey Business workshop at the Creation Museum that became a springboard for this book.
• T. F. Marsh and Diane King, the artistic duo whose illustrations breathe life and energy into my words so kids can enjoy these pages.
• My good husband, Steve, whose support for my writing never wavers.
