Stories for kids who never want to grow up.

PSST!

Hey, you! Come a little closer. looks over shoulder

Here's the thing: being an adult is hard. I've spent most of my life trying to avoid it. In fact, I'm still on the run! But you seem trustworthy, so I'm gonna share my secret to NEVER becoming an adult. Ever.

When I graduated college I moved to California intending to work at my favorite summer camp forever! But, Adulthood found me. Luckily, like my kid, I'm wiggly. I left to work at a Wilderness Therapy camp for a year to fully immerse myself in avoiding Adulthood. I was off the grid for two weeks at a time teaching kids survival skills in Oregon. But as soon as I thought I'd outrun Adulting it found me with all its bills and dental appointments. I don't think so!

I left the country to teach English in South Korea for two years. I was living it up! That country is covered in rock and rock climbing happens to be my favorite thing. It's my husband's favorite thing too and that's where we met. He was also trying to evade Adulthood too so we teamed up to fight it together! We moved to Japan for three years where I taught English to the cutest, stickiest little dudes of my life. Gosh, I loved it.

But we had to keep moving. Adulthood was lurking. We moved into our Scooby Doo van to climb around the country for a year! See ya, Adulting!

But we wanted a family, so we grew up just enough to be parents to an amazing kid. But guys, motions to come closer I found a loophole! I started writing picture books for my kid. This is how I escaped Adulthood for good — doing the thing I love most for the people I love most.

Don't tell anyone where I'm hiding okay? My life depends on it!
