Glorifying God’s Creation Through Story

About Madison
Madison Esshaki is a young Christian author who has been creating and writing stories since she could first form words. She is the oldest of thirteen children (that’s right, thirteen!) and is no stranger to the wonderful chaos that comes with it. An enthusiast since birth, Madison has a strong affinity for powerful music, studying the past, Disney movies, windy days, and anything to do with theatre.
