Welcome to the making of Ellie’s Big Adventure – a heartwarming and imaginative children's book by Theresa Dedmon. This page is a growing digital journey, showcasing the characters, story moments, and creative discoveries as the book unfolds. Through watercolor illustrations, storytelling reels, and engaging prompts, Theresa invites you to come along and be part of Ellie's world.
Since I was a young girl, I dreamed of writing and illustrating a children’s book. When I was 14, I received a prophetic word that children would be lining the streets of heaven thanking me for coming. That word never left me.
This book is more than just a story—it's an invitation into identity and transformation.
You may find healing through Ellie and her friends.
You may rediscover pieces of your own childhood.
You may even help shape this story as it unfolds through your feedback!
Every week, I post a short reel revealing more of the story and the characters in real-time. It's a personal and creative journey, and I want you to be part of it.
