As a teacher and author, I create books that make kids feel seen and excited to read.
Hi, I’m Holly—a teacher by day, author by heart, and mom 24/7.In the classroom, I help young readers discover the joy of learning. At home, (usually late into the night), I’m writing books for kids that spark laughter, creativity, and connection.As both an educator and author, I believe in the power of safe, engaging stories to make reading fun and meaningful—whether it’s in the classroom, at bedtime, or in everyday moments. At the heart of Cal the Camel Cal the Camel and His Kayaking Adventure is a simple idea: kids’ books should feel like a friend, offering encouragement and a sense of belonging.
Whether you're here to explore my children’s book, download free classroom activities, or connect for an author visit—I’m so glad you stopped by.

You’ll find a whole lot of heart. Every picture book I write, every printable resource I create, and every reading tip I share comes from real-life experience—whether it's teaching struggling readers or raising my two girls. I believe in stories that kids can connect with and classroom resources that actually work for teachers and parents.
