The author, Moanaro Imchen, while speaking at the programme, said she always wanted to write a book on Christian values and write about God’s love and blessings for the children to read.
Stating that serving in the Christian children’s ministry had taught her a lot of lessons, Moanaro recounted that most of the children today are not interested in reading books but rather focus on gadgets etc. She expressed hope that the book would inspire the young children to read books and also help them inculcate good Christian values in their everyday lives.
She also informed that a sequel of the book will be published in the months to come. Moanaro also expressed gratitude to her mentors namely Rev. C Walu Walling and Temjen Tzudir for their helps and all those who contributed towards the publication of the book.

He also said that the book would be very good if it is made into a drama or play for the people to enjoy.
