Gracey is a professional illustrator, author, and mother who has always loved stories that inspire hope and faith. She first wrote Stella: The Little Star With a Big Purpose at just twelve years old, winning a writing contest and dreaming of one day bringing the story to life through her own illustrations. Years later, that dream has come true. Written during a season of change, this story reflects Gracey’s faith in God’s plan and her desire to help children see that, just like Stella, they are created with a beautiful purpose designed by Him.
