New Children’s Picture Book Helps Families Find Comfort in an Unchanging God 

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – Gilbert, AZ — April 21, 2026 —  What if the changes that feel unsettling to children are the very moments God uses to show His faithfulness?

In a world where children are growing up amid constant change, author and biblical speaker Vicky Wedel offers a gentle reminder of where true security is found in her new children’s picture book, Forever the Same.

Written for meaningful family read-alouds, Forever the Same helps children and the adults who love them navigate life’s transitions—moving homes, growing up, loss, and caregiving—by pointing them to Yeshua (Jesus), the One who never changes. Through everyday moments and the beauty of creation, the story reassures young hearts of God’s steady presence and faithful character.

Rooted in Scripture and written with warmth and theological care, Forever the Same is designed to support families, churches, Christian schools, and counseling ministries as they help children develop trust in God through every season of life.

Vicky Wedel has studied the Bible for over four decades and taught kindergarten Sunday school for twenty-three years. Her personal experiences with caregiving and grief shaped her desire to write a story that offers reassurance without oversimplifying life’s challenges.

Forever the Same is published by Redemption Press and is available wherever books are sold.
