ABOUT THE BOOK

Well Moments for Kids is a colorful collection of stories that invite children to grow in connection-with themselves, with others, and with God.

Each story was inspired by the beautiful people who make up Hope Street, our “Greenhouse for People” on 26th and Capitol in Milwaukee, WI-a place where we cultivate hope, protect, and build community.

Come discover what it means to truly experience joy in the ordinary moments and see the goodness that grows all around us.

Author Ashley N. Thomas has served in various roles at Hope Street over the past 1 5 years, most recently as CEO for the past ten years. Her passion for creating safe, empowering spaces has shaped a community where everyone is reminded of their inherent worth. A storyteller and visionary, Ashley leads events and brings people together through meaningful connections. She is also part of the teaching team at a local church, speaks to audiences of all ages, and regularly contributes to Just Between Us magazine. Ashley is committed to inspiring others to remember what is true and lead flourishing lives.

Illustrator Hannah Carpenter has been part of Hope Street for just over two years. She has written for several online publications, including Her View From Home and Daughter of Delight. A lifelong artist, she loves blending faith and creativity to encourage and uplift others. Hannah’s artwork is often found on walls, canvases, and throughout Hope Street – not inside a book! This is her first illustration project, and she has loved bringing the heart of Hope Street to life in a fresh, playful way. She believes art helps us see beauty in ordinary moments and reminds us that growth is always possible. Hannah lives in Brookfield with her family and enjoys creating joyful, whimsical artwork for homes, communities, and spaces where hope is being cultivated.
