Together with their family and friends, they stumble into everyday mysteries, unexpected adventures, big feelings, ridiculous problems, and the quiet magic hidden inside ordinary life.Amanda is a lifelong storyteller, wife, and mother who believes the best children's books should do more than teach a lesson. They should make children laugh, make them feel safe, leave them wondering, and make them ask, "Can we read it again?"
