Katie Weaver

In Mid-Colorado, you'll find a weird mother
with SO many kids—she does NOT need another!
Her life with those goofballs is CRAZY, no question.
(Not crazy for real; that is just an expression.)
Her love for all children began with her own.
So, she writes and she draws for all children unknown.
For the first time (forever) her kids think she's cool,
…which is so super special—it's truly her fuel.
She has many achievements for which she is proud,
although writing kids' books has her up on a cloud.
Katie hopes that you'll love them (they take her forever),
but this is, for certain, her favorite endeavor.
With questions or comments you have for this gal,
send an email or message—she loves a new pal!
This would make her so glad—make her heart feel complete.
(But be warned, little one, she's 'A Little Offbeat'!)

Katie Weaver has done it again! Every book she publishes makes me imagine she is weaving words together like magic, because her rhymes are just perfect. I even find myself thinking “wow! What a perfect pairing of words to describe this scene!”

Once again we have mischievous kids thinking they rule the world (I think all of us parents out there find this to strike home). I saw another reader question if they are the bunny and OMG that makes this book even better.

Super cute! This is such a fun book to encourage kids to try new foods. It validates how yummy and fun snack foods are, while also mentioning the importance of healthy food and showing that it’s okay to say “no” when someone offers you something sweet. Trying new foods can be fun, even dragons think so!

Also, there’s another book called “Dragons Love Tacos” so I laughed out loud when this book referenced that one.
