Montell & Kristin Jordan
Shilo and the Not-So-Scary Girl Above His Bed: A Book About Overcoming Fear with Faith
In this first book of Shilo and the Not-So Stories, Kristin and Montell Jordan turn childhood worries upside down.
Shilo is a little monster with BIG fears! The girl who sleeps above him jumps, thumps, and snores so much that Shilo worries his ceiling might crash in. Worst of all, she has smelly feet! But with help from his mom, Shilo realizes that God is even bigger than his fears. Maybe that scary girl could become a friend!
This delightful rhyming picture book from creative powerhouse couple Kristin and Montell Jordan helps parents guide children ages 3–7 to fight their fears with faith. As Shilo discovers, God didn’t make us to be afraid. He made us strong, loving, and brave. With God on our side, fear and smelly feet don’t stand a chance.

Currently serving as the Assistant Vice President of Regional Development for the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), she leads fundraising and development strategies across five states to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and minority education. She also previously developed the publication “Atlanta Women Speaks,” a collection of speeches by prominent Atlanta women.
Headlights For Life, Lessons From Our Father by Justine Boyd is a luminous tribute to the enduring power of paternal guidance. It is far more than a memoir; it is a masterclass in character-building, offering a collection of “diamonds” brilliant, hard-won truths that serve as a navigational system for the soul.
In this deeply personal and universally resonant work, Justine Boyd curates the wisdom imparted by her father, transforming his life lessons into a practical roadmap for contemporary living. The metaphor of “Headlights for Life” is central to the narrative, suggesting that a father’s influence doesn’t just look back at the past; it illuminates the dark stretches of the road ahead, helping his children navigate obstacles with grace and foresight.
The book is structured around core principles that shaped the author’s life, including:
- Integrity as a Foundation: The unwavering commitment to doing what is right, even when it is difficult.
- Resilience and Grit: Learning how to polish one’s own character through the pressures of life.
- Legacy and Lineage: Understanding that the greatest inheritance a parent can leave is not material wealth, but a clear moral compass.
Books like Daddy’s Diamonds are essential in today’s fast-paced world. They bridge the generational gap, preserved in a format that honors the oral tradition of storytelling while providing the structure of a self-help guide.
