What Happens When a Child Meets Their Author
Imagine your child finishing a book they loved — and then getting to ask the person who WROTE it: “Why did you make this story? What inspired you? Did you always want to be a writer?” That moment is when a child stops thinking of reading as homework and starts thinking of it as a superpower. Every book in the Read With Carylee Book Club comes with that moment.
“I watched my son go from a child who avoided books to a child who couldn’t wait to read the next one — because he knew there was a real person behind every story.”
— Carylee Carrington, Founder
