Little Curly Susie by Suzette Oxendine

Hi, I’m Suzette, otherwise known as Susie, and I just published my first
Christian children’s picture book. I am very excited about this accomplishment
and hope it will become a new outlet of ministry that will allow the Word of God to
reach as far as He will let it!

I am very new to writing as my professional background is in medicine,
however, I love reading and have always desired to write a children’s book. I
also knew the title character’s name for this book, Little Susie, just like myself,
and I would write about her journeys with her curly hair.

It would be early 2020, during the pandemic, this dream would start to
become a reality. I was given the opportunity, yes, we’ll call it an “opportunity”, to
help my seven-year-old first grader with virtual school and of course learning to
read, online! We read so many children’s books, of all sorts and kinds, and I
thought to myself, “Hey, I can do this.”

So, I set out on this journey. Of course, I prayed and fasted for God’s
guidance on this quest, and once I completed the original manuscript, I thought
to myself again, “God, why would I do this? I have no clue what I am doing and
absolutely no training in writing.” Shortly after asking what seemed to be
reasonable questions, I felt God speak into my Spirit and gently say, “Why not?
You are putting my Word out there aren’t you?” It was then, I knew I couldn’t stop
there, I had to bring to fruition this new ministry God had placed in my heart.

Little Curly Susie is a simple story about a girl who has insecurities with her hair
and tries to take matters into her own hands to “fix” her problem. This book is a
personal experience of mine, and no longer ashamed to share it, my hope is for
as many as possible to read and share it. It is a sweet story of God’s love for all
mankind and how we are all created in His wonderful image.

I am a born again Christian who accepted Christ at the tender age of eight years
old. As pastor’s wife, mother of four boys, worship leader, Bible teacher,
Physician Assistant, and now a published author, I strive to live my life aligned
with the truth of Luke 12:48, “To whom much is given, much is required.”
At the end of each day, I treasure most the quiet moments when I am able to
tune in to the voice of God directing and encouraging me on this awesome
journey. It is within Him where I find my strength, security, and fulfillment!
