About Shelly’s New Release – The Bubble Who Would Not Pop!
The Bubble Who Would Not POP! is for children 5-8 years old and focuses on Billy Bubble. The excitement of finally being out of his bottle on a beautiful, sunny day is everything he’s hoped for.
But, someone else has bigger plans for Billy. The green-eyed girl with the bubble wand has a special message that needs to get to heaven pronto. Billy’s secret mission through the dangers of the sky – pointy branches, bird beaks, oh my! – will bring him before God, where he’ll learn an important lesson about God’s love and compassion. (Publisher: Little Lamb Books)
