Patience the Peahen
Patience the Peahen is a picture book by Samantha Harrell with illustrations by Layne Condra. Patience is a plain-colored peahen who is troubled by her lack of luminous plumage that is reserved only for peacocks. She plans to flee the park that she resides in for a lonelier, peacock-free existence, only to be reminded that she has peachick eggs in the park to protect. Will she stay put long enough to incubate her peachick eggs until they hatch?
"'Patience the Peahen' is a delightful read! The clever alliteration used by the author draws both reader and listener in to see what predicament Patience will find herself in next. As the thoughtful theme unfolds, the beauty of protecting innocent lives and learning not to base our worth on appearance is clear. Motherhood is the star ⭐️ in this story as sacrificing personal feelings and plans of escape for the protection of her chicks becomes paramount. Parents of all ages should pick up a copy and share with their children. I believe it will quickly become a family favorite!"

"Celebrating the unwavering strength of motherhood, 'Patience the Peahen' beautifully unfolds the story of a peahen's journey to discovering the beauty of inner strength. Readers journey with Patience as she learns that true beauty is found not in dazzling displays, but in the depths of our roles and relationships."

About Samantha
Samantha Harrell has been writing about the great love of our Lord Jesus since she was thirty, when her aunt told her then that the Lord said to write down all the miraculous things she was experiencing-dreams, visions, and angelic encounters. So in 2014, she started a blog which eventually became the inspiration for her first book, "His Child: Asking Jesus for Your True Identity." She began compiling that book in 2018 when another friend shared, "The Lord says, 'It's time to write.'" In 2021, she published her second book, "Captive in Norway." Samantha loves Jesus, her family, and babies-including those still enjoying the safety of the womb. She advocates for the humanization and protection of life at all stages, praying and anticipating the end of abortion in our nation. The pro-life cause is the inspiration for her forthcoming picture book titled, "Patience the Peahen." Samantha is an ordained Christian minister, a self-published author, and co-owner of Latitude Design and Construction. She lives in Cartersville, Georgia, with her husband, Nicholas, and their five children.
