Wondering if Green Ember Live with S. D. Smith is for you?
“Don’t miss the chance to enjoy live, warmhearted storytelling from an author who genuinely loves his characters, his audience, and the joy of inspiring young people to be a light in the darkness.
The simple combination of song, story, and illustrations created an atmosphere of fun and discovery as we heard a never-published vignette. Smith’s signature blend of humor, tenderness, and “what will happen next!” made us wish for more!
Whether you know and love the Green Ember world already or are just barely acquainted, Green Ember Live is a special experience for the whole family.” – Cindy Duell, AFHE Board of Directors and Convention Director
