Murfreesboro, TN - Local author Karen Ferguson is lighting up bookshelves again with her newest children’s picture book, Guess Why God Made the Rainbow, released October 1, 2025. This marks the third installment in her growing seven-book series designed to guide young readers through foundational Bible stories with warmth, wonder, and clarity.

The story follows Lucy, a curious child with big questions about God, and her wise confidant Papa Joe. Together, they explore the story of Noah’s Ark and uncover the deeper meaning behind the rainbow—not just as a splash of color in the sky, but as a symbol of God’s enduring promises. With vibrant illustrations and a heartfelt narrative, Ferguson’s latest work invites children to see the Bible not as distant history, but as a living story that speaks to them today.

Ferguson’s mission is clear: To nurture literacy and faith in tandem.

“A perfect book for helping build literacy skills, establishing foundations in Bible study with young children, and sharing the real meaning of the rainbow,” says Kayla Green, an award-winning Christian author and educator.

Beyond the pages, Karen is known for her 5-Minute Parenting podcast and her Questions for Kids series. Her background in K–8 education and deep faith fuel her passion to help children understand that their lives matter and that God’s love never changes. Guess Why God Made the Rainbow is available now in paperback and hardcover on Amazon.
