Get to know Me
Hey! This is Kara
I’m a mom of four, former teacher, and children’s book author who believes childhood is made of moments worth remembering. My Bucket List book series was created to inspire kids to dream big, try new things, and see their everyday lives as stories worth telling. Through my books, I hope to help children fall in love with reading, writing, and creating memories with the people they love most.
why i write
I write children’s books because I believe stories help shape hearts. As a former teacher and mom of four, I’ve seen how reading can build confidence, spark imagination, and create meaningful moments between children and the people who love them. My stories are inspired by everyday life and are written to remind kids that their moments, big and small, matter.
what i offer
• Book readings for schools, libraries, and community events
• Author visits and classroom conversations
• Book signings and special events
• Stories that encourage imagination, connection, and reflection
Each visit is warm, engaging, and tailored to the age group and setting.
FUN FACTS ABOUT ME
I’m a mom of four and a former elementary teacher who has always loved storytelling. I’m happiest near the beach, finding inspiration in everyday moments and real life experiences. Every book I write is rooted in connection, imagination, and the belief that childhood is a bucket list worth checking off together.
