With a focus on blending fun with valuable lessons, Miss Rose’s work is a unique blend of literature, music, and practical education aimed at fostering a love of learning and growth in young readers.
“The inspiration for my books is actually my kids,” Rose said. While sharing a discussion with her son she learned a classmate of his wasn’t able to afford glasses which made reading more difficult for her. This then inspired Miss Rose to want to help and that night she began researching how to put together children’s books. She previously worked with pictures and graphic design for 15 years and was able to utilize this and illustrate the entire book herself as well.
When asked what makes a good children’s book Miss. Rose explained she believes it needs to be a good story and it should teach children a lesson. “I know a lot of books these days are less words and they can read it in a matter of seconds, but for me a good book is a good story and they’re learning something”. Learning without realizing they are.
Her process begins with writing the story page by page then she will illustrate to fit what is happening. She also writes songs that relate to the series and songs that will continue to teach kids.
