NASHVILLE, TENN. (MARCH 19, 2025) Authors, musicians, and husband-and-wife Tim Nicholson and Sandra McCracken are set to release the children's illustrated book, The Maker of the Mountain,on April 15th (B&H Publishing). Click here to pre-order this sweet book. 
 
Readers will follow Little Brown Bear on an adventure to find the mountain maker and discover what He is like. Along the way, the bear meets new friends who share that the maker is like a bridge, gate, rock, and boat. And He’s always there to light our way home. Perfect for story time or bedtime, The Maker of the Mountain will leave children feeling loved by their strong, compassionate God and comforted to know Him better.
 
"This little book, The Maker of the Mountain, was born out of conversations with our young son about what God is like," shares the authors Sandra and Tim. "Pulling from the nature images we see in scripture and weaving them in with Fia Tobing’s timeless illustrations, we have loved seeing this project come to fruition."
 
Sandra and Tim as parents themselves write where good stories, music, and faith meet. They live in Nashville, Tennessee, with their children and two family dogs named Gershwin (after the songwriter) and Willow (after the tree).
