 I'm so excited to share my newest book with you--Revelation is My Flashlight! I was inspired to write this book because I know personal revelation is so important. Another big part of the inspiration for this book came from these words from President Nelson: "In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost. My beloved brothers and sisters, I plead with you to increase your spiritual capacity to receive revelation." I believe these words are true and I hope this new story inspires you and your little ones to learn to walk with God a little more each day.
To kick off the launch of Revelation is My Flashlight, an awesome group of bookstagrammers and bloggers will be reviewing and talking about Revelation is My Flashlight from September 13-27th. This digital book tour will also include fun facts, lovely photos, and a book giveaway. You can enter the book giveaway here!

8:30 pm MDT on Facebook Live here!  I decided to jump into the #FallWritingFrenzy contest on Twitter for the first time this year, and it was so much fun! We had to choose from a set of pictures, and then write a story of 200 words or fewer inspired by the photo. And here is mine, inspired by the cute little pup above (yes--I know it's not a pug, but I love pugs and the photo still inspired me!)
5 Little Pug Pups Going Trick or Treat By Sierra Wilson (To the tune of “5 Little Pumpkins”) Five little pug pups going trick or treat. The first one says, “I hope I get a sweet!” The second one says, “There’s a ghost beside the stair.” The third one says, “I won’t be scared!” The fourth one says, “There’s a shadow on the floor.” The fifth one says, “Let’s knock at the door.” Briiiiiing! Goes the bell. And on goes the light. And five little pug pups bark with delight. Trick or treat!  The 12 Days of Easter Blog Tour starts tomorrow! Hop on over to these wonderful blogs to learn more about The 12 Days of Easter by reading interviews and reviews. You'll also have the chance to enter a giveaway for a paperback copy of the book!

I'd always dreamed of illustrating my own stories, but it felt like such a huge hurdle. Many, many hours of work later, I'm so thankful to be able to say...I did it! It wasn't easy and pushed me to grow a lot as an artist, but it was also fun, joyful, and such a pleasure to be able to tell my story visually as well as verbally. This story is dear to my heart and works well on multiple levels: it's a great read-aloud, a playful counting book, and most of all a story about loving and serving others the way Christ would. I hope you'll love it as much as I do!

She spent years of her life leading the translation efforts for the Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price in Thai. I hope you enjoy her inspiring story as much as I did! 
I wanted to make some little Easter coloring pages for you to enjoy during the holiday. Feel free to download and color them! I'd love to see your work in the comments. Happy Easter!   Dear readers, I have a really cool story to share this month. Ever since beginning work on Standout Saints, I've had many special experiences connecting with people as I've learned about Church history heroes. Recently, Lisa, the oldest daughter of one of the heroes in my book, contacted me. She told me that she and her daughter decided to go to a bookstore. Lisa's daughter wanted to get Standout Saints, but Lisa was hesitant. Finally, she gave in. Later, as they were reading the book, they realized something special: there, at the back of the book, was Lillian Toft Ashby--Lisa's mother and her daughter, Toft's, namesake. Lisa and I began chatting and I learned so much more about Lillian's amazing story. I'm excited to share parts of it with you as this month's Standout Saints bonus chapter! I know it's been such a rough time lately, but I hope you will still feel peace and joy during this Easter season. It's one of my favorite times of year, and I've been thinking about how we can feel the Savior's peace no matter our external circumstances. More than that, His most important gifts are always on offer: love, forgiveness, and hope for eternal life with those dearest to us. Wishing you all a very happy Easter! With love, Sierra 
 In honor of Black History month, I researched and wrote about an incredible saint from Ghana. Joseph W.B. Johnson helped share the gospel and build up the Church for over a decade before meeting with missionaries and receiving baptism. He played a huge role in helping the Church grow in Ghana and his faith and sacrifices are an inspiration. I can't wait to share his story with you. You can download the bonus chapter I wrote below. I simply ask that you not reproduce or share it, except for personal use. Thank you!
