Hi! I'm Donna Perugini and I live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband. Roles I also fill are mother and grandmother to four grandchildren. We live in a small town surrounded by the beauty of forest and mountains.

I've been writing stories since grade school. When I began to teach Children's Church (for 30 years), I found there was a need for materials with impact. Necessity being the mother of invention, I began to write my own materials and put them into bite-sized pieces for the children.

My goal in writing is to help the reader understand; to impact them with the truth; to help facilitate a change from darkness to light.

The first three "Donna Perugini Books" are the "Orville" series: "The Flight of Orville Wright Caterpillar", "The Adventure of Amelia Airheart Butterfly in bye! bye! Dragonfly!" and "Do Angels Go Camping?".

The "Orville" book is a story about the dream in your heart and becoming what God has planned for you to be. The first step is being Born Again.

"Amelia's" book is the story of a friend that tells her the Truth! Amelia learns to ignore the 'What If's' (fear), triumphing over the enemy. Preschool to eight years old

The "Do Angels Go Camping? book reminds the children how to pray and about angels in their lives. Orville and Amelia introduce their friend, Antrew Ant in this book.

The fourth is a stand-alone book, "Don't Hug A Grudge". The book is Spanish/English and describes the growth of unforgiveness as a 'Grudge, Resentment and finally Bitterness'. It also gives children the solution to eliminating grudges, resentment or bitterness from their lives....and keeping it that way!

This book was thought of enough by Joyce Meyer of Joyce Meyer Ministries International, to use the book illustrations and content in her teaching series, "Bitterness, Resentment and Unforgiveness". Eight to adult

Delightful parable of dreams becoming reality
Beautifully illustrated book for children of all ages. Presents the gospel in a simple but profound parable of a caterpillar who dreams to fly being helped--in his quest--to turn into a butterfly. A quote from the book, "God has put a dream in your heart to be what he has planned for you to be."

The story follows Orville's journey from a caterpillar that knows he can fly even before he has wings. The moral the dreams of your heart can come true and you must be persistent.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Flight of Orville Caterpillar - An Instant Classic
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2010
A few months ago, I met a wonderful blogger, Donna, through the SITS girls tribe event. As I got to know Donna, I learned that she is a fabulous children's author. She has been a great friend and sister in Christ. (and after all the trouble she had with malicious code on her blog that came from who-knows-where just as she commented on my blogger blog - I'm so happy she stuck with me in spite of the possibility of cooties!)

One day, Donna offered to send me one of her books to share with my boys in return for my honest opinions as a book review. You can just imagine how excited I was. We LOVE books at our house. I wish I had a picture of Buggy reading this book (it's a favorite of his), but alas, the only photo I have happens to be of him reading right after bath time. He didn't feel clothing was necessary.

Ok - what do I think of this book?

I love it.

The Flight of Orville Wright Caterpillar is a sweet story of a little caterpillar who follows his dreams. Even when others tell him repeatedly that he can never fly, Orville still believes and trusts that he will one day fly. The story illustrates to children how God puts dreams in their hearts and how they can ask Christ into their hearts.

Orville Wright Caterpillar gives God the glory for the dreams and successes as opposed to so many books that simply say "you can do anything you put your mind to." The illustrations are beautiful. The story is captivating and written so children can understand. Buggy is two and routinely chooses this book as his bed time story.

I am looking forward to surprising him with another of Donna Perugini's books in the near future! It was so refreshing to read such a lovely and Christ centered book to my little man!

If you are looking for a great book for your little ones, look no further. Head over to [...] to order! You can also check out her blog at [...] to get some free coloring sheets, dvd music with illustrations, and to sneak a peek the books.

Seriously - you will love these books!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet little book with a big message!
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2010
Imagine having a dream - something you've always wanted to do - but it seems so far out of reach. Your friends discourage your idea and call it silly, but still you dream.

That's the predicament of Orville Wright Caterpillar. In The Flight of Orville Wright Caterpillar, by Donna Perugini, Orville wants to fly. The problem is, he's way too small to even consider such a feat. But Orville continues to look up and dream of the day when he can fly.

His outlook changes one day when he is lovingly picked up by a little girl. As he takes in the amazing view from so high up in her hands, she tells him all about Jesus and God's perfect plan for all of our lives. And in that moment, Orville realizes just how special he really is.

Soon, God is calling Orville to do something big, and with his obedience to that still, small voice, Orville's dream is fulfilled.

What I love about this little caterpillar's plight is that he reaches his dreams because of God's handiwork in his life. Over the last several years, I've read so many children's books which offered the message that "You can do anything if you put your mind to it." or "You can reach your dreams if you don't give up." But up until now, I've never found one that gives glory to God for making the impossible dream reachable. But Donna does just that in this book. She also weaves in the plan of salvation in simple terms for the smallest of hearts and the book's whimsical illustrations by Nancy Titolo Bishop carry the story along beautifully.

I'm always on the look-out for good, wholesome books for the kids, so I was excited to read this one to them. My seven-year-old loved Orville's story and couldn't wait to see what happened next. My three-year-old, who has been especially interested in caterpillars after learning about them this fall, liked the colorful pictures in the book.

It's a great book with a great message for the little ones!

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2015
This book is a classic in our family. The original paperback from Harrison House was such a treasure to read to my nieces and nephews when they were little. I have all three in the series and I am looking forward to getting copies for my great nieces and nephews to enjoy! It is a precious way to share the hope of the gospel and God's desire to give us the desires of our heart in Jesus.
