My Story
Hello, I'm Kerry
Hi! I'm Kerry Wittenburg — a children's author, storyteller, and lifelong believer in the power of a good story.
As a teacher, proud mom, and grandmother, I know how much the right book can shape a child's heart, spark confidence, and create meaningful moments families remember forever.
I write stories inspired by real life — filled with everyday adventures, big feelings, humor, and gentle life lessons that help children grow while making families feel a little more connected along the way.
When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, sipping a cup of coffee, tending to my garden, watching the birds at my feeders, planning my next beach trip, or traveling somewhere new. I've always had a special love for birds — especially cardinals — and the simple joy and comfort they bring.
Thanks for being here. You're in the right place. ♡
Where the Magic Comes From
A Love of Childhood
Every story begins with a memory — a firefly caught in a jar, a secret garden discovered behind a fence, a rainy afternoon with a stack of books.
The Power of Wonder
I believe wonder is the most important thing we can nurture in a child. My books are designed to ask questions, not just answer them.
Stories That Connect
The best books create a bridge — between parent and child, between teacher and student, between a child and their own imagination.
A Story Is Always Waiting
I write real-life stories with real-life lessons — books that help kids grow, families connect, and feel a little more seen and supported along the way.
Each book takes shape slowly, like a garden growing. Ideas are planted, tended, and sometimes completely reimagined before they bloom into the story they were always meant to be.
