Christian Newswire/ -- Eleven year old Bethany Buettner, working with her father, published The Baptism Song Book from a lullaby her father wrote to be sung at children's Baptism celebrations. When his wife was pregnant with twins, Dennis penned The Baptism Song after he could not find a suitable song for their old fashioned riverside Baptism celebration. The Baptism Song Book is being translated into at least 7 languages sung and spoken by over 1 billion Christians worldwide.
Budding artist, Bethany Buettner wanted some "daddy and me" time when she asked her father to show her how to design, draw and publish a book. Little did she know they would create a "first and only one-of-a-kind," children's picture book illustrated to enhance and memorialize the celebration date of Christian Baptism, Christening and Baby Dedications around the world.
"I like spending time with my daddy," says Bethany. "My father is a fun teacher. With his guidance, I took the song he wrote, The Baptism Song, and we found an Christian illustrator named Mentol from Malang City, East Java, Indonesia. My job was art director of the book, discussing the project with our team (Mentol, daddy and me) and making very precise sketches, photographs and directions for our Mentol. We spent 3 months of work and passed over 150 pages of notes, pictures, sketches and videos back and forth between our home and Mentol in Malang City."
Dennis stated, "The Baptism Song and Book is currently being translated into Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. We have been approached by individuals and groups from around the world who want to translate it into their language. It is very exciting and humbling for us. Bethany's favorite part is that she is able to send money to Mentol to help in her life mission assisting underprivileged boys and girls in Malang City, Indonesia. Bethany says when she hears people sing The Baptism Song she 'happy cries' every time knowing that she is helping people in need on the other side of the world."
