Hi Ya'll, Its been a few weeks. This fall has been a busy one! Keep an eye on my social media as I start to give some sneak peaks of my newest book! I just got it back from the editor and the illustrations are done! So really its finishing up the formating and getting the sample from my printer. This is always such an exciting time for me! Beyond that, I'm writing today because I have a little reading treat for you this week! Two books from our SillyGeese Publishing family are FREE on Kindle...

Hi Ya'll, This week in my Book Spotlight series, I’m doing something a little different. Instead of spotlighting one of my books, I want to introduce you to a series written by my daughter, Charlotte Mae Mokry — The BFF Detective Files. These early chapter books are written for children ages 4–7, but they also make fun read-alouds for families with a broader age range, around 3–8. So what exactly is an early chapter book? Early chapter books help bridge the gap between picture books and easy...

Hi Ya'll, This week in my Book Spotlight series, we’re taking a look at Little Panda, What Do You See? Written for children ages 2–6, this is a simple story about curiosity and wanting to see what is beyond what we already know. This book is built around the simple concept of curiosity. It is a simple idea, but one worth encouraging in our children. We want them to notice the world around them, ask questions, and be curious about what they see. While this book may seem like it is just for the...

Hi Ya'll, In a world where it seems every kid has a written book... What if your child wrote a book that never needed to be published? This week’s Book Spotlight is How to Make a Book: homeschool edition—a hands-on guide that helps children write, illustrate, and put together a book of their very own. But the goal isn’t to prepare them for publication. Yay, I know, my kid published four books, BUT she has written many more books that will never be published, but WILL be keepsakes. It’s to let...

Hi Ya'll, This week in my Book Spotlight series, we’re taking a look at Hey Little Birdie, What’s Your Name? I wrote this book because the name of the Roadrunner always fascinated me, but I could never find a real reason for name. At least no story that left me feeling satisfied. So, I wrote my own. Of course its not true...but like all tall tales, there is an element of truth that leaves you wondering, could have been true? This leads to some other natural questions like... How do we know if...

Hi Ya'll, This week in my Book Spotlight series, we’re taking a look at The Sloth and the Snail. This book is perfect for opening up conversations about expectations, comparison traps, and how to find contentment. The Sloth and the Snail is a story about noticing the good that’s already right in front of us instead of always chasing after what’s next, and trust me these are not conversations you want to wait to have after Christmas. Contentment doesn’t mean we can’t want something new. It’s...

Hi Ya'll, I’m starting a new newsletter series! I have been busy creating so many new books and resources that I want to make sure you don't miss out on any of the goodies.

My hope is to give you a chance to discover—or rediscover—my books while finding something fun and useful to do with the kids. This week, we're talking about Bubbles and the Big...
