P.R. Contact Monique Muhlenkamp

(Novato, CA) New World Library announces the September publication of a new book, entitled GOD BELIEVES IN YOU by award-winning and best-selling children’s author, Holly Bea. Holly Bea’s beloved Bull Mastiff, Buddy, is having a bad day. Left alone to guard the house, he is taunted by the neighborhood cats, who know he can’t touch them. Buddy is worried — will Holly be back soon, or is she gone for the day, or even forever? Much to Buddy’s relief, Holly returns. They go to the park, but Buddy’s fun is cut short by a pack of hostile squirrels and a team of Dalmatian fire dogs who challenge his self-esteem. Will this day ever end? Buddy’s day is a metaphor for the doubts and anxieties children face, and provides a soothing reminder that God will always be there for them.

God Believes in You is Holly Bea’s sixth nondenominational spiritual book. Other books by Holly Bea and illustrator Kim Howard include: Where Does God Live? (215,000 copies sold), Good Night, God (130,000 copies sold) and My Spiritual Alphabet Book (100,000 copies sold).

“The sentiment is heartfelt and right at a child’s level of understanding…a sweet, safe place to start a conversation about God.”— Booklist
