The Forest Rescue
by Carrie Ann Ward
Three siblings take their puppy for an adventure in the forest and find themselves rescuing a little bird.
When Lucas, Gabbie, and little Ella follow their playful puppy Blossom to the edge of the woods, they discover a tiny bird that can’t fly. With gentle hands, caring hearts, and faithful prayers, the children learn what it means to protect God’s creatures, one small rescue at a time. Little Helpers – Big Love: The Forest Rescue is a sweet, faith-filled story about compassion, responsibility, and the joy of helping, even when helping means letting go.
Welcome! I write Christian-themed stories for both children and adults who love wonder, whimsy, and faith-filled adventures. In my books you'll find gentle, encouraging tales for kids alongside deeper fantasy worlds woven with biblical themes, spiritual battles, and hope of Christ. Whether you're looking for a cozy bedtime story or an imaginative journey that points back to God, you're in the right place.
I’m Carrie Ward, a Christian author, artist, and storyteller who lives somewhere between paint-splattered canvases and worlds filled with angels, strange creatures, and everyday kids learning to be brave. I write Christian-themed children’s books and fantasy stories that blend wonder, imagination, and the quiet, steady hope of Christ. My day profession is in healthcare program integrity, where I have spent over 30 years. By background, I’m a fluid acrylic artist and acrylic/oil painter who loves pouring color across a canvas and then finding the story hidden inside it—horses, creatures with wings, and dreamlike landscapes often show up in my work. That same sense of movement and mystery spills into my writing. My children’s stories are gentle, playful, and full of warmth, while my fantasy tales explore spiritual themes, unseen battles, and the reality of light in dark places, always anchored in a biblical worldview. I’m passionate about creating stories that families can actually talk about—books that stir big questions about God, courage, forgiveness, identity, and calling, without ever losing the joy of a good adventure. Whether it’s a Pegasus, an angel, or a curious child at the center of the story, my goal is always the same: to point hearts back to Jesus in a way that feels inviting, imaginative, and real. If you love faith-filled children’s stories, richly layered Christian fantasy, or just need a reminder that God still moves in the middle of messy, ordinary life, I’m glad you’re here. Welcome to my little corner of books, color, and grace.
