The books I read with my twin daughters, Anna & Leah, when they were little, prompted seemingly endless questions about the origins of everyday things.​

​They were the inspiration for my

FIRST BOOK SERIES:

Backer & Backer.

 

Now, I strive to keep inspiring kids and grown ups to be curious about the world around us while spreading the joy of reading.

to Find Out!

Backer & Backer

 Wonderful series!

I read these books to my grandson and he can’t get enough! Perfect for the curious kid, who continues to ask “why?”. Absolutely love. Get the whole series if you can!

THE PLAYFUL PUPPY

Love this series!

I love reading this to my son. It’s the perfect length. So many young children’s books are too short. He loves listening to my voice. We love the entire series!
