Books are my favorite thing to give and get around the holidays! No surprise there. I’m an author and a retired reading teacher.
To quote Eddie from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. “That’s the gift that keeps giving the whole year, Clark!”
These days, I really enjoy supporting fellow Indie Authors. I’ve read and reviewed two of Lauren Ranalli’s picture books. Super cute and tons of fun!

Lauren can wander for hours in bookstores. She absolutely loves a freshly sharpened pencil (like realllly loves it). And she has found so much joy in pursuing my dream of being a children’s book author. Inspired by her own high-spirited children, she aims to create stories that excite curiosity and broaden our sense of community.
She wrote her first book, The Great Latke Cook Off, shortly after her oldest child was born. As part of an interfaith family, her son received a number of lovely Christmas books during his first holiday season. She went out with the intention to purchase some Chanukah books for him, but she couldn’t find any stories that resonated with her own cultural experience. So, she decided to write her own.
Flash forward several years, and she is now working on her fourth self-published book, with many other stories rolling around in her mind! She has been fortunate to have the opportunity to share her work with readers across North America, as well as support other aspiring and self-published writers in their own author journey.
If you’d like more information on her work, scheduling an author visit or interview, or signing up for her online course, please get in touch! She would love to connect with you.
