11 short chats/stories for story book, audio-visual program and/or video.
A very adorable main character: Zayan Deol.
Age: 7 years of age.
Background: Afro-Indian (His grandmother makes samosas and tells him stories about God on the front porch)
Personality: Joyful and clever, with a vivid way of speaking: “God’s love is like mango juice – it spills everywhere and it’s delicious!” He often asks his friends: “Did you know God is a family? That’s why He invites us to play together!”
Tone and Voice Style: He speaks with a melodic mix of African and Indian accents, full of expression and gestures
Superpower: “Heartlight”.
When Zayan talks about God, a soft glow shines from his heart that brings calm and joy to those around him.
We can get to meet some of Zayan's family and his best friend so long.
Through their journey with Zayan Deol, children viewers/readers discover the God of the Bible and the Christian faith.
Zayan wants every child to know that God loves them, and that He isn’t far away or scary – but close, friendly, and full of love.
