Diane now runs Izzy's Office, where she edits books and writes for children and adults. Her goal: encouraging you to read, learn, love, and live God's Word, the Bible.

Izzy's Office is named for Diane's first house rabbit, Isabella. A petite Dutch rabbit named Pepe ruled the office for six years too. He liked to nudge her feet for attention when she was at her computer and (he thought) ignoring him.

Diane is married and has two married daughters and three grandsons. These days Diane devotes time to baby care rather than bunny care. Two baby boys joined the family this year!

When she's not writing or editing, Diane enjoys walking, gardening, and planning her next trip to visit her grandkids.

I love how simple this book is. It takes a very hard story to comprehend and makes it easy for kids to read. I think it is important that children know the stories of the bible and this is a perfect way for them to understand them.

Everyone in the crowd loved listening to Jesus, but the people were all starting to get hungry. Jesus asks to borrow a little boys lunch and miraculously feeds everyone!
