About The Author

Diane Vogel

Diane Vogel is a mom, a grandma, and a widow. She is a writer, an artist, and a singer. She lives in Michigan with two little dogs: Sophie and Button. She loves spending time with family, especially her grandkids, camping in her little trailer, and gardening, -mostly flowers. In the summer, she loves raising Monarch butterflies. Most of all, she loves Jesus who gave her all those other things, along with eternal life. She wrote this book for her grandson, Gus.

Jesus is Kinda
Like a Garbage Truck

In this bright and charming picture book, Diane Vogel uses one irresistible idea-big machines-to help kids understand an even bigger truth. Just like a garbage truck hauls away our trash, Jesus carries away the messes in our hearts, leaving us clean, light, and loved. “How is Jesus like a farm tractor, or a snowplow?”
