so so the cuddly blue whale

SO SO THE CUDDLY BLUE WHALE

Any parent knows there is such a special bond between a child and their stuffed animals. So So is a stuffed whale that belongs to my grandson Hudson and it was a small rip that brought So So and a very sad Hudson to my house one day. I sewed him up and while some people might not believe in magic, it was truly magical to reunite my grandson with his most special toy. That moment inspired the book and this story will touch the heart of any parent or child that have a So So in their life.

Also available in a gift set that includes a So So of your own and a signed copy of the book.

EMMA’S MONSTER IN THE CLOSET

Whether it’s under the bed or in the closet, it’s hard to find a child whose imagination hasn’t fooled them into being afraid. My granddaughter Emma had such a fright one day and my son got her explanation of what a monster was after on video. Watching a two-year old be so genuine about her monster in the closet warmed my heart and after watching this favorite video of mine over and over, I knew I had to turn it into a book.

sully the birthday beagle children's book

SULLY—THE BIRTHDAY BEAGLE

We often say the times we live in are scary, but managing in a pandemic is certainly a unique kind of scary. Every decision became hard and while health was always most important, it was sad to have to let go of simple things in life we enjoy. Here is the United States, it was early March and two weeks before my granddaughter’s birthday when my son and daughter-in-law decided her birthday party would have to be cancelled. Quick thinking led to quite the adventure to keep the birthday magic alive.

The gift set includes a toy beagle, all the supplies to make Sully two different birthday hats and a book signed by the author.

The Tooth Be Told Children's Book

THE TOOTH BE TOLD

Being in the field of dentistry and always finding great joy in working with children, the idea for this book has been with me for more than 30 years. I always wanted to write a story from the perspective of a tooth, teaching children what it takes to care for the mouth and how important it is to visit the dentist. This is the perfect story for young children who are just beginning to learn about brushing and taking their first trips to the dentist. I had the great pleasure of helping all of my grandchildren through this stage in their lives, and this book is written especially with my granddaughter Ella in mind.

The gift set includes a toothbrush that gives the child the proper time to brush when the light turns off.

the pumpkin hunt at grandmas house

A Message from Gerry

THE PUMPKIN HUNT AT GRANDMA’S HOUSE
This is where the magic began. I had never written a book before, but I was inspired by the tradition that my family enjoyed together for years. Seeing my grandchildren light up with anticipation for the pumpkin hunt was an extraordinary joy in my life and I wanted to share that with other families. It is written from the perspective of my granddaughter Vivi, and anytime I read it I can hear her voice.

We didn’t stop there with this family tradition though! Hunt-Kins™ is an interactive family experience that can bring the joy of the pumpkin hunt alive in any family’s home.
