A Journey of Faith and Wonder: Tim Nicholson and Sandra McCracken Unveil ‘The Maker of the Mountain’
On April 15th, authors and musicians Tim Nicholson and Sandra McCracken will release their heartwarming children’s illustrated book, The Maker of the Mountain, published by B&H Publishing. This enchanting tale follows Little Brown Bear on an adventurous quest to discover the maker of the mountain and learn what He is like. Along the way, the bear encounters new friends who describe the maker in vivid, scriptural terms—He is a bridge, a gate, a rock, and a boat, always there to light the way home. Perfect for storytime or bedtime, this beautifully crafted book is designed to leave young readers feeling loved by a strong, compassionate God and comforted by the knowledge of His presence.
The inspiration behind The Maker of the Mountain stems from the authors’ own experiences as parents. “This little book was born out of conversations with our young son about what God is like,” Sandra and Tim reveal. Drawing from the rich imagery of nature found in scripture and pairing it with Fia Tobing’s timeless illustrations, the couple has created a story that is both visually captivating and spiritually profound. As Nashville-based artists and parents, Tim and Sandra have masterfully woven together their love for storytelling, music, and faith, offering families a treasure that will inspire curiosity and deepen their understanding of God’s character. With their two dogs, Gershwin and Willow, adding to the warmth of their home, the couple continues to create art that resonates with both children and adults alike. Pre-order now and embark on a journey of faith, wonder, and discovery with Little Brown Bear.
