The Story

Austin has had a bad day. Life is so unfair! His parents are fighting, his sister is a pest, and nothing ever seems to go well at school. But just when Austin feels like the whole world is against him, he meets a kind neighbor who shares with him the best Story ever told. Captivated by Miss Carole's caring heart and her incredible story, Austin discovers that there is Someone who loves him, who died for him, and who will always be there for him when life gets hard.

As a once tiny caterpillar grows and changes, he experiences the wonders and fears of the garden, the terror and pain of a dark cocoon, and the difficulty of waiting as God slowly transforms him into the butterfly he was made to be. Growth isn't easy, and change is often hard and painful, but as the caterpillar learns, no matter what stage of life you find yourself in, God is always near, and He always has more goodness in store. More For You Than This

Stephanie Weaver is a children's ministry enthusiast who is passionate about teaching kids God's Word, God's character and God's love.

When a nearly fatal suicide attempt left her with several physical disabilities including the loss of her voice, writing children's books became a wonderful new avenue for her to continue to teach the kids she loves so dearly, about the loving and faithful God who saved her life and gave her a second chance to live victoriously in Christ.

She wants her books to inspire hope and bring encouragement to kids struggling with their own hurt and brokenness.
