Inspire kids to use their talents to glorify God through this biography of Fanny Crosby, one of the world’s most famous hymn writers.
Kids will be amazed learning the true story of Frances—or Fanny, as everyone called her—who was blind for most of her life but rejoiced that the first thing her eyes would see would be "the face of Jesus in heaven.” Fanny used her extraordinary musical ability to write hymns we still sing today, such as "To God Be the Glory" and "Blessed Assurance".
This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Fanny Crosby (1820-1915) is part of the Do Great Things for God series, which is designed to show ...kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
These stories can be read to young children or enjoyed independently by early readers. The free extras make these stories useful for homeschool, Sunday school, missions events, and more.

Brings together young and old, modern and traditional. God is generous in his gifting and if children can learn from Fanny Crosby's faith and life, they may also learn resilience and gratitude. A very humbling and encouraging read. Thank you

We are a homeschooling family and used this book to learn about Fanny Crosby. This book provides so much encouragement for young children in overcoming seemingly bad circumstances. It shows how God is sovereign over all things in life and that God has a purpose for all people, regardless of upbringing, physical health, or age. I am so thankful for Fanny. This book was such a sweet book and I am grateful for the free activities, too.

I highly recommend this children’s biography picture book series! This book is beautiful! Fanny is a famous hymn writer. Her story is remarkable! Fanny was only six weeks old when she became blind. “The first thing my eyes will see will be the face of Jesus in heaven.” Fanny Crosby is a wonderful role model for our children, showing them how they might be useful to God’s kingdom.
