FEATURED TITLES

The World Is Too Loud

A gentle, lyrical story for sensitive children who feel overwhelmed by the noise of the world. This book shows them they’re not alone — and gives them tools to find their own softer way.

Ideal for sensitive readers and classrooms supporting emotional regulation.

Mokie’s Adventures

Book One: Mokie the Silly Sausage Dog

Follow Mokie, a curious dachshund with a big heart and a nose for trouble. Each adventure is full of laughter, mischief, and warmth — perfect for children who love silly pups and friendship-filled fun.

The Day My… Series

Book One: The day My Backpack Ate my Lunch

A hilarious school-time romp where imagination runs wild: backpacks grow teeth, lunches vanish, and chaos rules the hallway. The perfect first entry in a series that mixes rhyme, comedy, and Looney Tunes energy.

Down Under

A Journey Through Australia

Coming Soon

by Lyn Rose

When Stories Take Flight

Arden’s mind is a treasure chest overflowing with paper birds, pirate ships, and dragons that swoop through clouds. While reading is hard for him, his imagination never stops flying. A heartfelt story about a child who finds ways to share his magic with the world, even when the letters on the page won’t stay still.

Wings of the Lost Sky

 (Middle Grade, Ages 8–13)

In a world where the Aviari once soared above the clouds, darkness has clipped their wings. From the ashes, a Gate Walker is whispered into legend. Eli Foster, a boy who feels like an outsider, discovers that shadows are watching him—and the Gate may be watching too. A fantasy adventure of courage, mystery, and destiny.

What Leo Saw

Leo collects treasures no one else notices—buttons, feathers, bottle caps—bits of the world that others call “junk.” But when he builds something magical from his collection, he proves that imagination can turn scraps into wonders. A tender, uplifting story about neurodivergence, creativity, and seeing beauty where others don’t.

The Day My… Series

Looney Tunes chaos meets school-day fun. Each book in this rhyming, rollicking series explores the wild things that might happen if your everyday objects had a mind of their own.

Future titles: in progress (currently being written and polished).

Mokie’s Adventures (Series)

Follow Mokie, the silly sausage dog with a big heart and endless curiosity. Each book in this series takes Mokie on a new adventure full of laughter, love, and mischief.

  • Book Two: Mokie Goes to the Beach (Coming Soon)

    Sun, sand, and too much excitement for one little dachshund to handle. From chasing waves to digging holes, Mokie proves that even at the beach, trouble finds him.

  • Book Three: Mokie Goes to School (Coming Soon)

    A first day full of wagging tails and wobbly adventures. Mokie learns about classrooms, rules, and maybe even a surprise friend hiding under a desk.

More Mokie adventures are already on the way!
