Hi! I’m Carolyn. If you’re like me, you want to give your child the best books, books that will inspire laughter and touch their hearts.

But not every kid is the same, and you don’t have time to read all the books.

That’s why I’m here to help you find the right book for your child.

 

 

I’m also an author myself! You can learn more about my books at my Author Site.

Beneath the Swirling Sky is the award-winning first book of The Restorationists, a series about friendship, calling, and the power of art.

Book three, Beyond the Far Horizon, releases September 9, 2025 from Waterbrook, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
