I Love Picture Books!

Writing

24 Jul

Hi! I’m Karen!

I’m a children’s picture book author, who’s kind of obsessed with kid’s stories. If I find myself in Barnes and Noble, I’m uncontrollably drawn to the children’s section, like Augustus Gloop is drawn to chocolate.

In my former career as an elementary teacher, story time was always my favorite part of the day. There’s nothing like casting a spell on a classroom of kids as I transport them to another time and place through the pages of a good book. 

As a kid, I loved Corduroy, Emily Elizabeth and her big dog Clifford, Curious George and the man in the big yellow hat, and feisty little Madeline. I hope that my children’s picture books find themselves in your home and your heart like these beloved children’s classics.

    My children enjoyed these books; and, we still have them♥️ They want to read these cherished stories to their future children My son especially is looking forward to that time in his life!♥️ I believe books are good gifts to give to yourself. I too believe they transport! What a nice book you posted. I am inspired to make a trip over and reacquaint myself with that part of the bookstore and buy one for my son and daughter to add to their collection. By the way, my mother is a (recent) author, as well Thank you for sharing!
