🌴📚 There’s a small wooden library box along the path to the beach on Singer Island. So on my last trip, I brought a bunch of copies of Macie and the Magic Veggies with me and stocked the shelf.

Later that day, Macie joined me on a walk and lit up when she spotted her book inside that little wooden house.

But the moment that really stayed with me? Within just a few hours, most of the copies were gone — and kids were reading them on the beach.

As a content creator, that’s the reward: seeing a story you’ve created land directly in the hands of your audience.

And with more stories on the way, the timing felt perfect.

✨ Macie and the Magic Beans arrives next, teaching little ones that patience builds strength — as Macie and her best friend Mia return to Farmer Lundyn’s farm and discover that growing strong takes time and steady effort.

✨ And on December 11, I’ll reveal the title of a brand-new Macieverse adventure — rooted in the magic of science, exploration, and a story about growing food in places that are truly out of this world. 🚀

So, save the date — and if you happen to see a Little Free Library, consider sharing your favorite children’s book.

You never know whose imagination you might spark. 💚
