The Secret of a Mommy's Love

The Secret of a Mommy's Love is a sweet story of how Jesus grows a mother's love when a new baby is coming to a family.  Written in collaboration with Ellen's five oldest grandchildren about the birth of her youngest, the book describes the children's journey to uncover a special secret about how a mommy's love works.

​

The secret was first shared by Doris Krohne, Ellen's mother-in-law, when Ellen and her husband were expecting their second child, and the book is dedicated in Doris' memory.

​

Published in March 2021, the book is illustrated by Martina Terzi, an Italian illustrator who currently lives in Denmark.

​

Unlike Ellen's other two books, whose topic is grief, this book is a joyful one to read to your little ones.  Ellen hopes you will pass the special secret of how a mommy's love works on to those you love.

She is pictured here with her six grandchildren, the "stars" of the book.  Each spread holds a special "Easter egg" hidden for you and your little ones to find.  Enjoy!

Proceeds from this book are also donated to Heartlinks Grief Center, a program of Family Hospice in Belleville, IL.
