- My name is Don Moen.

I'm a worship leader, singer,writer, and a producer.

I have five kids and now 11 grandchildren

and known as Papa around here.

Four of our five childrenlive 10 minutes from our house

so all these little grandchildren,

they show up at thehouse on Friday morning

about 7:30 or 8:00, Pancake Friday.

Then it gets a little more chaotic,

but why not keep thetradition going? (laughs)

When all the kids gettogether for Pancake Friday,

it's amazing to watch thesekids sit and watch "Superbook."

As a producer, I look at the excellence

in the quality of production.

Pacing is important to me.

"Superbook" holds their interest.

There's enough adventure, enough danger,

excitement to keep the kids' attention.

- I'm Laura Moen.

My grandchildren

Call me Mai me.

I want them to know the Lord

with all their heart,soul, mind, and strength.

It's so wonderful toactually watch the children

watching 'Superbook'

that teaches them the stories of the Bible

that are relevant reallyrelevant for today.

- People don't need another production.

They don't need more pageantry.

They don't need more technology,

but the only thing that'sgoing to change a life

is the presence of God

and never underestimatethe power of a story

of an image in a littlechild's mind and heart

As a parent, wanted to speakinto my children's life.

But now as a grandparent,

you have all these little young lives.

When it gets crazy around here.Laura reminds me that it's,

it's just a window becauseonce they get into school,

we won't be having a crazy timeover here at pancake Friday.

And I want to share the gospel with them.

We're using this 'Superbook'series as wonderful to,

to just trigger stories,the salvation poem,

every single episode. There it is.

As a father, as a grandfather,to be able to keep it real,

keep it simple, stay onmisses the whole time,

and they'll grow upremembering these stories.
