Pages Of My Life – Yvonne Morgan
By Yvonne Morgan @YMMauthor
Hello everyone, I’m Yvonne Morgan and I’m so happy to share a little about my writing life with you. I write in several Christian genres including fiction, nonfiction and children’s. Today, I want to share about my newest children’s book, that released on February 1 and explain my reason behind the book. Please enjoy and I look forward to your questions.
Why I Write Children’s Books
As my grandchildren grew, I started writing children’s books. I wanted them to read engaging, faith-based stories filled with fun illustrations and valuable lessons that would nurture their faith. As the children grew, I wanted to continue their lessons, tailoring them to their expanding interests and abilities. The book, “Mary the Missionary, A Kenyan Adventure,” shares the message of God’s love, and how we are all his children despite our differences.
Mary the Missionary Details:
Are you ready for an adventure in Kenya? After singing “Jesus Loves the Little Children” in Sunday School, Mary has many questions about children in other countries. When her parents learn about a mission trip to Kenya, they decided to experience another culture as a family. Mary encounters many trials on her Kenyan adventure. In the end, she learns that she and her new friends aren’t different, and Jesus loves all children.
Through colorful illustrations and engaging storytelling, “Mary the Missionary” teaches important lessons about acceptance, empathy, and love. As Mary meets children from different cultures and backgrounds, she learns to see the world through their eyes and understand the unique challenges they face. Along the way, she also discovers the unifying power of faith and how it transcends all barriers.
The Mission Influence:
The memories of my mission trips to Kenya, filled with the warmth of the people and the beauty of the landscape, led me to choose it for Mary’s visit. I loved the vibrant tapestry of cultures and the welcoming smiles of the people I met during my visits. To help your children explore Kenya, I’ve added free resources to my website; these include downloadable activity books and captivating information. Here is a link to those resources: https://yvonne-morgan.com/mary-the-missionary-resources.
In Kenya, people use Ugali as a fork to pick up their food. Here is an ugali recipe to try with your children:
Ingredients:
1 cup maize meal / corn meal
2 cups normal water
Instructions:
Heat water over medium heat in a deep pan. Make sure you use a pan with a handle.
Add the maize meal or cornmeal and keep on stirring with a strong wooden spoon.
Keep stirring and pressing the mixture against the sides of the pan to break up the lumps.
As the mixture becomes thicker, it becomes more difficult to mix. Keep mixing and breaking up the lumps.
The mixture will come away from the sides of the pan.
Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the ugali to a platter. Place the plate over the pan and turn it upside down.
Enjoy piping hot ugali with your favorite stew or curry.

As an author and blogger, I write stories to help deepen a relationship with God.
On a personal level, I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I am a wife, mom, and grandmother, but most importantly, I am a child of God who is passionate about prayer and missions. I share stories of trusting the Lord and watching Christ in action. As a faithful prayer warrior, I trusted God when He called me to help orphans after losing my son. He led me to set up orphanages in Myanmar and Nepal. My charity is named Orphan Relief Effort, Inc.
