Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Jana M. Castle has published a new children’s book, "Small Packages Big Impact," through Page Publishing, following a family led by a character named Jonathan on what the publisher describes as a mission marked by laughter, chaos and heartbreak.
According to publisher listings, the book is a 32-page paperback aimed at young readers, published in February 2026. It is also available as an eBook, with the eBook edition noted for enhanced typesetting intended to make longer reading sessions easier on the eyes.
The story follows Jonathan and his family through a series of emotional ups and downs, according to the announcement, with the narrative built around themes of surrender, faith and finding unexpected blessings in difficult circumstances. Castle has described her writing as motivated by a wish to share stories that "uplift, encourage, and draw readers closer to God," according to the release.
The author’s background is described in the announcement as rooted in Christian faith, which the publisher says shapes the book’s spiritual perspective throughout.
"Small Packages Big Impact" is available through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, the Apple iTunes Store and Google Play, as well as through Page Publishing directly.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the detail worth noting here is the format: a faith-themed children’s book aimed at family reading, rather than the adult inspirational fiction that dominates most self-published faith titles crossing this desk.

Author Lisa Doucette has published "Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!", a children’s book drawn from a painful memory of her own childhood, through Christian Faith Publishing.
The story follows a young girl named Lisa who climbs onto a tire swing expecting an afternoon of fun. A fall and a cruel remark from another child instead leave her confused and hurt. With her sister’s help and her faith, she works through the experience and arrives at forgiveness.
Doucette is a wife, teacher, and mother of two sons who has said she experienced the incident firsthand as a child. "I experienced this hurtful event as a child, and rewriting this story with a redemptive ending has allowed me to truly forgive," she said in the announcement. "I believe that forgiveness is the way to heal, and I hope this book helps other children understand that truth."
The book is categorized as juvenile fiction and centers on themes of empathy, agency, and choosing one’s response to cruelty rather than controlling it. The publisher describes it as a tool for helping children navigate hurt and process it through kindness rather than retaliation.
"Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!" is available at bookstores and through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees value in children’s books that work from a real, specific memory rather than an invented scenario — that specificity is often what makes a book like this land with young readers rather than read as a generic moral lesson.

Christian Faith Publishing Releases Pamela B. Craig’s “Tears and a Tiara,” a Family Memoir of Childhood Cancer and Faith
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Pamela B. Craig has released "Tears and a Tiara: A Testimony of Faith, Hope, and Love," a memoir recounting her family’s experience after her child was diagnosed with cancer, according to the publisher’s announcement. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing.
The announcement describes a family life upended by a diagnosis no parent expects to hear, and a narrative that follows the family through what the publisher calls heartache toward spiritual transformation. Craig frames the ordeal as a test of faith rather than only a medical crisis, according to the announcement, with the book positioned as both a personal testimony and an account meant to speak to readers facing their own hardship.
The title itself, pairing "tears" with "tiara," points to the book’s central tension: suffering alongside something the publisher’s description treats as a mark of grace or honor, a framing common in faith-based memoirs that cast a family’s hardest season as also a season of spiritual meaning.
Craig’s memoir joins a steady stream of personal narratives released through Christian Faith Publishing, which works with authors to bring faith-centered stories, often rooted in illness, loss, or caregiving, to print.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a durable category of faith-based memoir: narrow in audience, but consistently in demand among readers looking for first-person accounts of hardship read through a spiritual lens.
