About the Author

Kara's secret dream was to write children's books. Then one day sitting in her garden she decided it was time to try. So she did. When Kara is not writing down ideas for her next book adventure, she can be seen in her garden watching the critters that visit the plants. Kara lives in Northern California with her two favorite people, Emily and Erik, and her dog, Ginger. Brie has worked with children in a Montessori school for over 20 years. She loves animals, rocks, and reading, and it's a dream come true for her to be able to illustrate a book! She shares a home in Northern California with 2 humans, 3 cats, and a bird.

Reviews

"Children are natural explorers and will be captivated by and relate to Emmi and her friends as they are exposed to scientific terminology and concepts through multiple and diverse points of view. As a Montessori teacher, I love how Great Explorers invites the possibility to expand the teaching moment into an interactive experience as the child observes nature and discovers their own place within it."- Pennie, Montessori Teacher for 37 years
Winner of the Golden Wizard Book Prize 2023!"This book is a fantastic resource for parents who want their children to get excited about exploring the world around them. It shows children how to use and show gratitude for our senses, and how mindfulness can help us be more aware of our surroundings."5 Star Review by - Louise Jane, CEO The Golden Wizard Book Prize
