One Thing Is Needed

an invitation to fix your eyes on the One who is all you need

This is our story, but with hippos.

Are you in the early days of receiving a hard diagnosis? I wrote this book for you. Let me sit down with you and sweep you up in a story that offers a much needed and gentle language to communicate what is happening and what’s coming next. Let me talk to you a little about tests and treatments and waiting and worry.

Hippocephalus: a tale of hippo hope for kids facing medical challenges is layered, sweet, light-hearted, and funny. And at the same time, it is a book that says, “I see you. This is really, really hard. Hang in there. Be brave. This is still a good story.”

I can’t wait to share it with you!

“Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.”

The same could be said to many of us. How tragic would it be to look back and realize we spent our life working tirelessly, but missed what was most important? This timely book speaks into our distractions, worries and heartaches. It takes a moment to lead our eyes back to the One who cares deeply for us and is ready to help us. He invites us to trust him, depend on him for all we’re worth, and find in him the rest and hope we so desperately need. He holds out this gentle instruction for the weary, frazzled soul: one thing is needed; start with that.

"I’ll sing to you a secret song as you drift off to sleep. For naps aren’t what you think they are, this secret you must keep…"


Enjoy sharing this beautifully illustrated story where Abi learns that naps are anything but boring! A short, charming lullaby reminding children (and their parents) that naps are a chance to dream.
