The Ready! Book Series – Encouraging Independence, One Story at a Time
The Ready! book series was born from real-life parenting moments—those joyful, messy, and sometimes challenging experiences of raising an independent child. Inspired by my toddler son, who always wanted to do things on his own, I quickly realized that some situations needed a little more guidance. I’ll never forget the days my husband and I had to leave a restaurant because our little one was too excited to sit still, exploring every corner of the dining room instead of his plate!
That’s why I created Restaurant Ready!—a fun and engaging way to introduce babies, toddlers, and preschoolers to dining out with confidence and independence. But this was just the beginning. I wanted to help young children navigate everyday experiences in a way that felt natural, exciting, and empowering. The Ready! series is designed for little ones with short attention spans, filled with vibrant illustrations, sensory-rich descriptions, and simple, engaging storytelling that makes learning feel like an adventure.
Each book embraces cultural diversity and represents families from different backgrounds, ensuring that every child can see themselves in the stories. Some books even include coloring pages to encourage creativity and reduce screen time—because in today’s fast-moving digital world, fostering a love for language and storytelling is more important than ever.
As a mother, I know that childhood is a journey of exploration and growth. My goal is to provide books that help children build real-world skills while creating meaningful bonding moments for families. Whether it’s preparing for a meal out, a trip to the market, or a new adventure, the Ready! series is here to support little learners as they gain independence and confidence—one story at a time.
