There are many great children's book authors, and readers couldn't possibly read every book written.

Our dedication to introducing children's book authors like our grandson Cooper shows that the path to writing children's books can start at any age.

Cooper is a contributor behind the story Laughter in Learning and is the narrator of the audiobook Laughter in Learning.

Because our stories take place in the fictional town of Big Head, in the Rocky Mountains, Cooper picked an animal that is natural to the area.

Cooper's character in our story is a red fox.

Getting to Know Cooper

Bailey Introduction to Adventures in the Heart of Children's Book Authors

Introduction to a Family of Children's Book Authors

Welcome to the Adventures in the Heart of Children's Book Authors podcast. Although a show focuses on children's book authors, our goal is to connect with children's book readers. With many podcast shows in the world, why this podcast? It's all about the story behind the story. The big difference between children's book authors and most authors, we all start out as children's book readers. Most of us have heard or read the stories of Mother Goose, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Sleeping Beauty, and many more children's stories. If our podcast show can let children's book authors share how they brought their stories to life, including the inspiration behind the story, the characters, the lessons, and the moral of the story, our goal can be achieved. This introduction helps readers reaffirm if this is a children's book they wish to support and bring into their home library. In the first 10 episodes we will introduce you to the unique group of children's book authors, a grandpa, a grandma, and five grandchildren. Does this sound like a children's book? It's actually our story. Together, we are the authors and co authors of The Adventures of Kaboose, the Rocky Mountain Bear children's book series. Furthermore, we have also taken on the roles, narrators, contributors, and editors for print, digital, and audio books evolving into self published book authors. It is like we are the Cinderellas in our own story. Our journey as children's book authors has been a continuous learning experience and we are thrilled to share the skills we've acquired with other authors in the field. These skills will encompass various aspects of children's book publishing, marketing, distribution, and sales. Although we hope you will consider purchasing our children's book, The Adventures of Kaboose the Rocky Mountain Bear, we understand that as parents or grandparents, you may seek different lessons and morals and perspectives in the stories you support. As authors, we acknowledge that considering our diverse world, we can't cater to all readers preferences. Nonetheless, we aspire to bring the world of children's literature to your reading space. We trust that you will enjoy and find value in this podcast show. We have a strong desire to grow and get better. We'd love a rating and review of each episode. It's a simple process.
