Run Toward the Light

Some stories are written in big moments…others begin with a single step.

Little Steps, Big Journeys is a gentle, heartfelt story inspired by the early life of Todd Crandell... author, speaker, and founder of Racing for Recovery.

Through the eyes of a young child learning to walk, this beautifully written and illustrated story captures something deeper—the way children experience the world around them. The love they feel. The moments they remember. The quiet ways life begins to shape who they become.

Perfect for young listeners and the parents who guide them, this story offers more than a simple message. It's a reminder that children see more than we think… and feel more than we know.

With warm, comforting imagery and a tone that feels like a quiet conversation, Little Steps, Big Journeys invites parents and caregivers to slow down, be present, and recognize the powerful role they play in a child's life.

Inspired by Todd's journey of resilience and recovery, this book also serves as the beginning of the Run Toward the Light series—a collection of stories designed to support children and families through every stage of growth.

A meaningful listen for:

• Parents and caregivers
• Toddlers and early childhood listeners
• Families navigating life's challenges
• Anyone who believes in second chances and new beginnings

Because every step matters…

And every journey begins with one.
