A Young Boy Named David

Inspiring Childhood Series

Our Mission: Healing Kids

So many of our precious young ones are living through traumatic childhoods. They often feel like they have no one that understands them, and they can grow up with pain in their hearts and nightmares in their minds. Our mission with this book series is to help these children learn how to process and understand what they are going through. The experiences in the series are taken directly from the author David M. Smith’s own childhood. He truly believes that retelling his story from the perspective of a young boy will reach into kids’ hearts and help them to grow and to heal into the beautiful adults they were always meant to be.
