Hello Sweethearts! It's Grandma Bunny. Welcome to my website!
As you know, anytime there are Dragons nearby—there are going to be adventures, and I am so happy to share them with you.
Let's explore the magic of nature and stories together!
With my book Moon and Sofie Had Been Friends for a Long, Long Time, we’ll discover an enchanted world filled with Dragons and dreams.
With my videos exploring beautiful nature, I’ll share with you the wonder of forests and beaches and gardens that you can explore outside the pages of a book.
For children, story lovers, and storytellers everywhere, we will meet all manner of friends from realms near and far.
Find adventures and magic!
Follow along on the Moon and Sofie adventure and let me read to you! I read chapters from Moon and Sofie Had Been Friends for a Long, Long Time on my Youtube channel. Subscribe and join in the journey. I look forward to sharing my stories with you!
MOON & SOFIE
Every forest is a story. Leivs is the name of this forest, and even its magic has magic.
Everything that lives in The Magical Forest Called Leivs is a character in our story. There are the usual, unusual creatures: colorful toadstools who turn into bossy, busy Gnomes at nightfall, Dragons who suffer from nightmares, a wise and whooo-some Owl, a kind and benevolent Moon, Unicorns dealing with stress, rainbows that come unwrapped, and the power of friendship and love.
Now. It's time to meet Sofie, our young Dragon heroine, and her friends Moon, Owl, and the very helpful yet overly enthusiastic Gnomes.
Featuring my words and illustrations, the first installment of the Moon and Sofie series is my picture book Sofie's First Moonglow.
When you open the pages in this newly published paperback, we find a very grumpy Owl whose sleep and routines are disturbed by a mysterious egg that appears at the base of the ancient Trinkettree where Owl lives.
Wise Moon asks Owl and the Gnomes to assist with caring for this egg. What a bother! But, Owl learns to embrace his softer side and finds that he can work through his feelings in order to help someone who he does not yet know.
And this story is just the beginning!
My Moon and Sofie series is a joy-filled project that shares my love of nature as well as my love of learning through some fact and some fantasy and a whole lot of adventure.
I want to encourage curiosity and discovery in children and their grown-ups alike!
Moon and Sofie adventures continue in my chapter book Moon and Sofie Had Been Friends For A Long, Long Time, which I am reading aloud to you on my Youtube Storytime channel. Also be on the lookout for some more short and easy reader books coming out along the way.
Pocket Poems
I hope these poems from Whimfinity find a home with you!
The realm of Whimfinity, which holds The Magical Forest Called Leivs, is grander than you can imagine. Here there be Dreaming Pools and poetry to sleep and awaken. There are magical beings called Faes, from Ondines and Mermaids to Caterwhirllers and Goblins, and other new friends, like a flying squirrel named Hobi and a talking pelican called Paulo, who you will meet.
You'll also find familiar friends, like Dragon Sofie and Gnome Elly Lily, with poems of their own about their adventures!
These wonderful characters share their poems in my book Pocket Poems from the Dreaming Pool, taking you deeper into this magical realm, all with the hope of helping you explore your own dreams!
Once upon a time
in a land that knows no time,
bedtime tales are told in rhyme.
Hints are hidden, clues unbidden
left for those to peek
at a bigger story yet to seek.
In here be fantastical beings,
few of whom you’ve likely seen.
But you can spy them, ay, here in this book.
You've only to turn page by page to have a look.
