Adding Value, Lowering Risk for Children’s Book Readers

Adding value, lowering risk for children’s book readers, as I interviewed more children’s book authors, I asked them about their motivations for writing children’s books. Their motivations are reflected in many of the core values of their books’ characters or themes.

Their motivations are driven by passion, although it differs for every child’s book author. Furthermore, passion can also be their background as a teacher, love of family, children, or grandchildren, incredible careers, or charity work; there are recurring motivations.

I know that over the months and years, I will add to this list the motivations of children’s book authors.

What’s Our Story?


I am not only a children’s book author—The Adventures of Kaboose the Rocky Mountain Bear—but also a Children’s Book Podcaster, Adventures in the Heart of Children’s Book Authors Podcast. 

Our podcast is dedicated to children’s book readers and authors.

It reveals the stories behind the journey to becoming an author. In Episode 2, I also discuss with my granddaughter Kyra how our children’s book, The Adventures of Kaboose the Rocky Mountain Bear, comes from a magical place in the Rocky Mountains.

As you listen to Kyra, tell her story about how an adventurous bear named Kaboose came to life. Consider that Kyra’s story could be your child’s or grandchild’s story about their favourite place and the experiences and adventures they enjoyed. You, too, can write your own children’s book stories.

Our mission is to speak to children’s book readers and recognize that you, as readers, cannot possibly purchase every child’s book ever written. However, giving you a glimpse into as many children’s book authors as possible allows you to lower your purchase risk as a parent, grandparent, relative or friend. 

Adding Value, Lowering Risk for Children’s Book Readers


You can get to know our guest children’s book authors on our podcast show and see if their stories, characters, and passion for the message fit you, your children, or your grandchildren.

I give you my reasons for starting a Children’s Book Author Podcast Show. You might think this is honourable of you. I am having a blast introducing other book authors to a larger children’s reading world. 

However, I also have a selfish reason. I want to raise awareness of our Children’s Book Series, The Adventures of Kaboose the Rocky Mountain Bear and encourage you to support us by purchasing our book.

Even though most Children’s Book Authors will never reach fame and fortune, children’s book authors would love to break even in our Children’s Book authors’ journey.

We recently received a video book review from a speech-language pathologist and toddler Mom. We could not sum up the words about our book any better. 

In addition, we are very proud of this video review, and we hope you will take a few moments to click on the link and view this book review.

We hope this review helps you purchase our children’s book, The Adventures of Kaboose the Rocky Mountain Bear, a gift to a child you know.

Your purchase will support our podcast to uncover the stories behind other Children’s Book Authors and help them reach a larger audience. Likewise, your help could bring the next title in our book series, High Jinks, at the Big Head Folks Music Festival into the children’s book world sooner.
