Joni Eareckson Tada’s story of art, faith, and advocacy

A diving accident left Joni Eareckson Tada quadriplegic at 17, changing the course of a life that would include painting, writing, and disability advocacy. This illustrated-length biography connects those accomplishments with the Christian message that God can work through hardship to serve others. It also presents Joni’s story as an invitation to children: meaningful contributions can take many forms, including creative work and care for others. The book brings together personal biography, disability, and faith, with Joni’s art and ministry as central parts of the account.

Book overview

Middle-grade readers will be inspired by the true story of gifted artist, author, and disability advocate Joni Eareckson Tada, and learn that God can use them to achieve amazing things.

Joni Eareckson Tada was an adventurous, fun-loving girl until a diving accident changed her life forever. Instantly, Joni was a quadriplegic at the age of 17. However, that didn't stop her from becoming an accomplished artist, author, and advocate--not just for those with disabilities but for all people seeking a relationship with God.

This uplifting story explores how the Lord used Joni's disability to help others and spread the good news of the gospel through her paintings, books, and ministry. Now Joni wants to pass her legacy on to the next generation, empowering all children with the hopeful message that God can use them to do incredible things too!
