This is a children’s read-aloud picture book. It follows a pig as he learns to find hope in his world’s version of our True Hope, Jesus. It ties in elements of fairytale, adventure, and fantasy, perfect for the aspiring adventurer in your home. While it is geared towards small children, it’s a story that readers and listeners of all ages will connect with as they discover new layers of depth.
Next Steps
This children’s book is currently in the stage of editing and illustration. I am searching for an illustrator, and hope to start a Kickstarter for funding.
After that, I plan to start the publication process. I’m aiming for The Golden Corn to come out in the winter of 2026, but God has plans I don’t yet know of and that date may be pushed up or pushed back.
History: A Clue Hunt
The Golden Corn started out as a clue in an Easter clue hunt, where the middle schoolers were to follow the directions hidden in the story.
From there, the story blossomed.
The adventure became more than just directions to another clue. It became a story that was meant to be shared with the world. A call to the hope so many of us seek.
Directions to the Living Hope of the Bible.
Now Noelle is working towards publishing this story. Her heart’s goal is that The Golden Corn will be shared with young children and families everywhere, from her hometown in Wisconsin to the deep jungles of the Suriname rainforest.
