about traci
It Began Long Ago...
Traci's whimsical, childlike imagination needed a companion who would join with her in a creative partnership, so at the age of 5, Bill Vanderbush came into her life. As next door neighbors, the two employed themselves as secret spies, baked mud pies, and followed the escapades of Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote. Eventually, they married as teenagers and dove into ministry, fueled by a desire to help people know their worth and how greatly they are loved by God. In the midst of navigating youth ministry and a senior pastorate, Bill and Traci created two amazing human beings; they consider this to be their greatest accomplishment. Today, they travel across the globe, speaking and writing. Traci is currently working on screenplays.

MR. THOMAS AND THE COTTONWOOD TREE
MR. THOMAS AND THE COTTONWOOD TREE
MR. THOMAS AND THE COTTONWOOD TREE
After several recurring dreams about a tree where children would encounter God, Traci Vanderbush felt led to write a book for children that would release emotional healing, based on some of her personal experiences with the Father. Within the dreams, she kept hearing “Mr. Thomas and the Cottonwood Tree.” She began researching cottonwoods and found that they exude a resin that some refer to as a "Balm of Gilead." This confirmed to her that there would be healing within the story. Her husband, Bill Vanderbush, offered illustrations which they chose to keep simple and without color in order to allow childrens' imaginations to paint a picture.
THE MAGIC OF OUR FOREFATHERS
MR. THOMAS AND THE COTTONWOOD TREE
MR. THOMAS AND THE COTTONWOOD TREE
The Magic of Our Forefathers speaks of the hidden gifts of past generations and how they affect our lives and future generations. Traci creatively unwraps the revelation of our ability to experience "time travel" through becoming aware of the value of our connection with the older generation. Through personal recollections and short stories, life lessons are revealed and hope-filled strength is given to the reader to overcome life's challenges. Basic principles regarding work ethic and walking through adversity are discussed as part of the journey. The trials and challenges of previous generations are often overlooked, but when we face the fire ourselves, suddenly, we find our hearts spiraling in an immense gratitude and unforeseen strength from those generations that pushes us forward, into the arms of hope.
