About The Illustrator
Helena Bebirian is of first generation
Armenian heritage. Her culture prides her with a vast love of many
arts and cultures.
Helena began her passion of art doodling as a child, winning local
awards for her work, as well as in her handwriting. She is a
colorist, where she splashes much color on a canvas, and a creative
formation comes out of her work. Colorful, innocent and yet with a
vivid imagination, Helena brings out the sweetness and innocence of
illustrating children’s books.
Helena feels that we should put forth and search our inner
spirituality and all regress back to our childhood to bring back the
sweetness and innocence of our children.
Helena stated, “Our children are of beauty, innocence and love, and
may that always be contagious.” Especially in this children's book,
we can all somehow relate back into our faith and feel the love we
have for and from God. |

Good Night God, Love, Olivia is a delightful
story of a little girl who captures your heart as she searches to
satisfy her desire to say good night to God. She insists on telling God
all about her adventures that take place in her daily life in spite of
her Mother's coaxing Olivia to go to bed. Her Mom decides to capture the
moment and turns Olivia's quest to say goodnight to God into an
opportunity to teach her that God is happy whenever anyone who thinks of
Him and has a thankful heart.
The beautiful illustrations are colorful and express the happiness and
joy that one feels when they are reading this heart warming story.

TERRIFIC BOOK, really shows how children
relate to God, family, and the wonders of the world around them.
Beautifully written with bright and colorful illustrations.
Would make a wonderful baptism or first communion gift for that special
child. A PERFECT bedtime story!

Some stories originate from family lore,
passed down through generations.
Others are passed up, from our children. Good Night God, Love Olivia
(Lifevest Publishing, May 2006, paperback, 25 pages) is such a story.
Author Beth Ann Mammola-Koravos walked in to her daughter's room one
night to find young Olivia in conversation with God. What followed was
the inspiration for Mammola-Koravos' first children's book Good Night
God, Love Olivia. The book is a sweet conversation between a mother, a
daughter and the God who loves each of us so greatly. In Olivia's gentle
"goodnight" to God, we are all reminded to take time each day to thank
and praise God for the many blessings in our lives. As Olivia's mother
reminds her that God is always ready to converse with her, we too are
encouraged to take quiet moments of prayer and reflection along life's
journey. Bold, vibrant illustrations by gifted colorist Helena Bebirian
bring Olivia's words to life, as we relive a day spent in the splendor
of God's creation. Many families pause together each evening for quiet
time, reading and prayers. Good Night God, Love Olivia would be the
perfect accompaniment for the bedtime ritual of young children.
