Teresa Argenbright

I was lucky to have been raised by a mother who loved solving crossword puzzles and was known for inventing silly song lyrics when she couldn’t remember the actual ones. She passed that love of language on to me.

Fast forward through my former lives as a writer of advertising content, fundraising campaigns and nonprofit grant requests. What I enjoyed most was composing whimsical poems for family and friends and finding new books to read to my kids at bedtime. For me, there’s nothing better than sharing a laugh with a child who has nestled into my ribcage and who wants to help turn the pages. My kids are now adults and I have the adventure of writing the books I would have chosen “back in the day.”

I totally acknowledge that life isn’t easy.

Daphne Herlihy

When trying to get her kids to eat healthy food, first-time author Daphne realized that her arguments about nutrition weren't making sense to her young children. So she decided to meet them on their level, and make it fun. She asked her kids to imagine, "what happens in the grocery store when the lights are out and the customers have all gone home?" They imagined oats wearing coats, fruits donning formal suits and veggies struggling with wedgies. As a whimsical world unfolded, Daphne realized that storytelling has been the missing piece in the process of getting kids to enjoy healthy eating.
