The author of The Misadventures of Mallory Malo, an upper middle-grade book, brings you his second short-read children’s book that was inspired by and written as a bedtime story for his grandchildren.

Armed with only a toy sword and too much imagination, the two sisters set out to find a pink butterfly, and discover a fire-breathing dragon.NOTE: A middle-grade teacher has this to say about The Princess Knights:Kenn, I thought this was fantastic! For independent reading, I would recommend grades 3-6. For read-aloud, grades P-2. For P-1, it could be broken up as a read-aloud for 10-20 minutes a day.Pick up a copy for the little reader in your family today!

It’s the first day of summer vacation, and twelve-year-old Mallory, armed with too much imagination and not enough common sense, begins her self-imposed quest to prove she really does have a guardian angel, only to discover that everything she believed is not quite how she imagined it, especially when her bullying cousin Jo visits the farm and proves to be more trouble than Mallory or her guardian angel can handle.What People are Saying:"Mallory’s character jumps off the page with a spunkiness and imagination reminiscent of a young Nancy Drew. The story keeps the reader spellbound and intrigued with a perfect balance of scares and laughs appropriate for today’s adolescents. The paranormal twist and budding relationship between Mallory, cousin Jo, and sister Susan set the stage for exciting adventures to come."~ Dan Yakimchuk, PhD"The Misadventures of Mallory Malo will have a broad appeal to youth while being a fun read for parents as well. In this young adult story, author Kenn Crawford creates a main character who is sympathetic and full of her own ideas, many of which she tries out by experiment. The supporting characters are realistic and well developed. Crawford has previously published a book of witty tales. His sense of humour comes through in The Misadventures of Mallory, along with an underlying spookiness. I greatly enjoyed the read and recommend the book to parents for their young readers." ~ Prof. Michael G. MacDonald, Cape Breton UniversityGet one for the young reader in your family today!

Losing a pet or loved one is traumatic and overwhelming. During a loss, children need a safe place to express how they feel and process emotions. Growing Wings offers the experience of a child’s journey in the excitement of making a new friend, and the pain when this loved one leaves for any reason. Kim Crawford helps to normalize emotions and offer meaning to relationships as she concludes, “Now I know that life is full of change and new beginnings. Just because someone leaves does not mean there is an ending. People and pets leave love forever in our hearts, whether they are near or we are apart. Life is full of people, places, and new things. Life is all about growing our very own wings.” The little girl in Growing Wings is illustrated in the likeness of Kim’s granddaughter, Lily Mae, who is growing beautiful wings. Kim Crawford is native to Birmingham, AL. She is a Board Certified Chaplain, instructor of Laughter Yoga, creative writer, and inspirational speaker.
