Two dreams are soon to become a reality through the creation of a children’s
book titled, The Proper Use of One’s Shell, written by Jennifer Johnson
and illustrated by Marley Ungaro. For both of us, it has been a long-time wish
to write and illustrate for God and others beyond our family members.
After much research and collaboration, we have decided to self-publish
this allegorical children’s picture book.

Some of Jesus’ most compelling teachings were communicated in parables,
simple stories of truth told with the perspective of the listener in mind.
It is with this premise that we have created a thoughtful and artful
work for God’s littlest ones, His children.

The Proper Use of One’s Shell is a tale of a snail’s journey to find her
purpose and the proper use of her outer shell through self-discovery
and a compassionate mentor, a sunflower. The book’s purpose is
to impart the theme that God has made everything beautiful
in its time (Ecc 3:11), and He has gifted us each perfectly and
for a purpose. To read more about the book and to keep up
with it’s growth, please visit www.properuseproject.com.
