Hold Back the Monsters on Ambrosia Maple

"Those of us who write, who sing, who paint, must remember that to a child a song may glow like a nightlight in a scary bedroom. It may be the only thing holding back the monsters. That story may be the only beautiful, true thing that makes it through all the ugliness of a little girl's world to rest in her secret heart. May we take that seriously. It is our job, it is our ministry, it is the sword we swing in the Kingdom, to remind children that the good guys win, that the stories are true, and that a fool's hope may be the best kind."

— Andrew Peterson, Adorning the Dark

The design shows a detailed tree beside a reflective quote about storytelling and creativity. Its theme is how art can comfort children and help them face frightening things.
