An illustrated hardback children's book titled "All in a Day With Daisy" was recently published by three sisters, Judy Smoker, June Hollinger, and Rhonda Nissley, who grew up in Strasburg as the Siegrist girls and are now married and living in Lancaster County with families of their own.

In 2023, a year after their mother passed, the sisters took a trip to Florida to reminisce and visit Marco Island, where their parents enjoyed vacationing. While there, they talked about how they felt God prompting them to find a way to carry on their mother's legacy by using their talents for God's glory and sharing Jesus with others.

After going on a dolphin tour in Florida, the sisters came up with the idea to use their talents to create a children's book. The story centers on Daisy, a lovable dolphin, and her friends Max the Manatee and Sammy the Sea Turtle. A fun day playing games together in the cove leads to Daisy feeling lost and alone in the ocean, but she discovers that she is never alone when she has a guiding light leading her home. The story is written as an allegory pointing readers to Jesus.

Smoker used her talents to create original painted watercolor illustrations for the book. Hollinger wrote the story while Nissley used her expertise in layout and design to make the book ready to publish.

The book is available at http://www.radiantstarbooks.com. The sisters will bring the book to several local libraries this summer, and they are available for speaking engagements. To contact them, email RadiantStarBooks@gmail.com.
