"Thank you, Roger, for offering this teaching to children as well as the adults who love them. We will read this book over and over again to remind us of how many ways there are to pray."

My picture books and books for grown-ups share the same heartbeat: honest hope and wonder.
Welcome! I’m Roger Hutchison—author, artist, and photographer. I write for both children and adults, exploring themes of faith, beauty, and belonging in ways that invite readers of all ages to slow down and see the world with tender eyes. My picture books and books for grown-ups share the same heartbeat: honest hope and wonder.
You can find me most active on Instagram @rogerhutchisonbooks, where I share updates, art, and behind-the-scenes glimpses. I have an article coming soon in Spirituality & Health magazine, two new Sparrow books releasing in 2026, and I recently signed a book deal with Eerdmans for a forthcoming adult title—likely arriving in 2027!
I’m delighted to share that I’ve signed with Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing for a forthcoming book for adults.
This project has been growing quietly for quite some time, and I’m eager to share more about it soon.
A special thank you to Keely Boeving, my agent, and Lisa Ann Cockrell, Acquisitions Editor at Eerdmans, for believing in me and this project.
I am over-the-moon. —11/17/2025
