What Our Readers Are Saying

Loved The Shared Dog. A story of sisters getting a dog suddenly becomes a family journey through enjoyed life together. The bittersweet sneaks up on you in a true to life way.

What an amazing children's book! I love the writing and illustrations. It's amazing what a dog can bring to a family and this is a special story.

I found myself rooting for the teacher, the students, the dog, tearing up and laughing out loud at the challenges and outcomes. 'The Paddleboard Dog' hits so many rich, meaningful "feels"...a brave young woman starting her career as a teacher in a less developed part of the country and feeling a bit homesick living away from family; the teacher's desire to maximize the experiences of her students by taking them into elements to learn more directly; the teacher adopting a dog to provide her companionship while also helping to protect her students. Beautifully written and would appeal to readers from age 2 - 200. Fabulous!

Guiding Perspectives

"3 to 100"

Three-year olds have already begun trying to figure out the reasons for everything. If we live to 100, we will still be doing this. Our stories have something for the head and heart of any age.

Invisible Hand

Our books are the result of the self-guided labors of many, combined by The Invisible Hand that guides a voluntary marketplace.

Pots & Pans

Small children would rather play with the stuff in your kitchen cupboard than a toy. Ours are the “pots and pans” stories of living.
