About the Author
Stephen Bevan imagined his church mouse at age 5. All those wild Sundays of imaginings are distilled in this book. He and his little church mouse lived in Montgomery County Maryland, until Heavenly Father took them both to Western Australia for many amazing adventures “down under.” Now those two trouble makers reside in beautiful Cache Valley, Utah. On Friday nights they are telling stories and hammock camping with the scouts but each Sunday morning they are both trying to sit reverently in church with Stephen’s own wonderful and imaginative children. Learn more about Stephen at www.bevanstories.com, while you are there see what other adventures he and his mouse have to share.
Current Residence: Cache Valley, Utah Review
It’s not always an easy task to sit still for just over an hour for Sacrament Meeting. But there are positive and influential ways that children can be taught. This book is perfect for teaching children how and why to sit still through Sacrament Meeting. The bright and colorful pages, along with the short and easy text are perfect for young children as they are learning about sitting still, as well as learning to read. This is a fun and great teaching tool for parents.

The Book and the Accompanying Soundtrack
Author Marty Reeder wrote a fun book and Tanner Lex Jones wrote a cool soundtrack to accompany the book. Here is what Tanner has to say about the book and what inspired the soundtrack: - Marty Reeder wrote a great book (that got published!) - The characters and story inspired an album worth of new songs (We’re trying to figure out what to call this- Companion album? Soundtrack? Is a book soundtrack even a thing?) - I’m currently working with Chris Wright (and other great musicians) on recording and producing (stay tuned for tunes!). Order your copy from Tanner Lex Jones today!
