Hey there, I'm Allyson and I am so excited to share my picture books with you!

In the magical early years when my son was little, my favorite moments were when we used to curl up at the end of a long day and go on adventures through the tales of big characters created by amazing authors and illustrators. 

 Characters who inspired powerful lessons in our own lives.

 Motherhood, coaching, teaching, my time on a board for a children's museum, my crazy family business as a funnel cake vendor, were all pieces in the puzzle that helped me create my big picture in my own life, my absolute joy in children's book publishing.  

 When my son left for college and our house became an empty nest, I filled that void with a year of writing silly, funny yet inspiring stories like the ones I once read to him.

 Now I want to share my stories and my life lessons to you and your family. Hopefully together, we can create some cool “Aha!” moments.

 I am inviting you to join me. I have no doubt that this next chapter in my life is going to be quite an adventure.
