8+ years ago, I wrote a poem for my friend to help her young children understand the Holy Ghost. With encouragement from family and motivation by published authors, I submitted my work to Cedar Fort. Today, my books are on sale at Amazon! So surreal that I’m an RWA Pro, SCBWI Pal, and LDStorymaker

Happy Reading Friends!!

Woohoo! You’ve read all the messages in your inbox.

That’s what I see at the top of my inbox. This doesn’t mean I’ve replied to all my emails, but I have read them. I’ve even found some emails that motivated me to spend hours on the internet researching books, authors, and more writerly meanderings.
This upcoming weekend I’ll be attending a baptism for my niece (one of the 25) who will become a member of the Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-day Saints. I’m sure excited that she’s already got copies of my books “I Want to be Baptized” and “The Holy Ghost is like a Baptism” because that means I get to shop for something else (maybe a Minky Couture blanket?).
But I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of the 18000+ folks who have buy my books for baptisms, confirmations, funerals…it’s a blessing to know the little inspired stories that I write matter to families and friends.
Enjoy!Â
Smiles,
Annalisa
Welcome to the official website of Annalisa Hall, bestselling author of the children’s books The Holy Ghost is Like a Blanket, I Want to Be Baptized, and Sheppard’s Last Lamb.
It’s great to be eight.
Our youngest just turned six and is learning to draw the number 8. She got a small whiteboard as a gift and covers the surface with figure eights, 8 and says to me, “I can’t wait to be 8.”
What a blessing to have “I Want to Be Baptized” and “The Holy Ghost is Like a Blanket” for her to read and ponder before she turns eight and makes that important choice in her life.
I had the blessing of signing a few books for some friends who came to town. I do love signing books for special events like baptisms and confirmations.
The gospel is a joy and at this Easter season when we rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I find happiness abounding all around in the simple joys of life, even drawing the letter 8, it’s great!
Celebrate!
Stay Tuned – I’ll be headed to Provo/Orem the first week of May for book signing events.
It’s my birthday tomorrow — so I’m going to party today!!
Wednesday Sept 9th is the release of the board book version “I Want to Be Baptized” illustrated by Corey Egbert. Hip Hip Hurray!!
Baptism & Confirmation Books
Special thanks to CEDAR FORT and my family! I hope your loved ones enjoy these books as much as we do. They are available in Spanish and Portuguese too.
Smiles!!
