About the Book
What does it mean to use our God-given gifts? Sometimes we don’t know until we receive assistance from others. The Pencil Who Did Not Know How to Draw is a whimsical tale of someone who had a special talent but didn’t know how to use it …until he turned to others for help.
Tiffany April Jonker’s story reflects her own gift for helping others. Tiffany used to love sending helium balloons into the wild blue yonder, each with a special purpose. She enclosed in every balloon a message such as, “Hi, hope you’re having a good day. God bless you.” Her hope was for everyone to know the love of God.
Proceeds from this book are donated to an orphanage in Romania that Tiffany loved and visited six months before she died.
Tiffany was given to us for a season to show us the true meaning of God’s love and mercy. She lives in the arms of Jesus and in her conceptual drawings and stories. Tiffany loved to make people laugh; we hope that all the children who read this book will have a chuckle or two. She must have been an angel in disguise; she was heavenly minded to the last day of her short life.
David Wilkerson, author of The Cross and the Switchblade
