Hi! My name is Charlena Postell. I am a published children’s book author. My first published book is “Joyful Samuel”, a children’s bible story. This vibrant read will be sure to get little readers excited to learn biblical stories in a way that’s fun and relatable. My purpose as a writer is to create stories that are engaging and that help teach children how to navigate the world they live in by teaching them principles they can apply for a lifetime. My goal is to write books that are colorful and fun that get children excited about reading. I truly want every child to be able to see themselves and relate to the characters as they turn the pages of the stories that I create. I believe stories connect us to our past, remind of people and places, cultures and feelings. Reading ignites the explorer in us, allowing children to use their imagination to go where they’ve never gone and to see the world through their eyes, while opening their hearts and minds up to endless possibilities. I am a Dallas native. Currently, I reside in Fort Worth Texas. I am a wife and a mommy. Professionally, I practice as a Registered Dental Hygienist.
