My Story
Hi, I’m Francis — the author of If You Love Your Child, Read This. I was born in Africa and spent most of my upbringing in St. Louis, Missouri with my parents and 3 other brothers.
Every day, the world pushes us to chase money, success, and status - but what good is gaining the whole world if, in the process, we lose who we truly are?
That's why I created this book because I want children to grow up knowing the same truth God taught me: No matter where you live, what you wear, or how much you own, there’s one treasure that outshines them all - being a child of God.
How This Book Came About
My wife and I welcomed our first born January, 2026. As I watch him grow, I look forward to the moments where I can teach him and play with him more. I came to the realization that sometimes we don't have the right words to express how much they are loved by us, but more importantly by God, so I wrote this children's book.
