Welcome to Children’s Books that Build!

My name is Maureen and I am a writer and mom with over 15 years of experience working with children, creating successful programming & doing readers’ advisory for children of all ages.

This site is a place to find information about my books and writing projects, as well as recommendations of books that build courage, character, curiosity and confidence in children.

Are you a parent, grandparent, caregiver, educator, librarian, children’s writer or a part of a child’s life in some capacity?

Are you looking for great books to gain inspiration in your writing career or to instill a love of reading and build courage, character, curiosity and confidence in a child?
