My granddaughter, almost 3 years old, is an Indie Inkwell fan. It's the first, and sometimes it is the only, book she wants to read. Not only is she (admittedly, myself too) drawn to the unique story and pictures inside the book, but she now quotes many of the sing-song lines from the characters! Diane Rippere, Mother & Grandmother The adorable themes and breathtaking illustrations inside this delightful book stir the imagination and ignite a child's desire to read. We need lots more books like this for children. Lynne Vargas, Elementary Teacher

Author Information

Kimberly Allen Carter, creator of Indie Inkwell Books brand, was born in the early fifties, raised in Balboa, California during a time when children played outside as often as possible. Imagination filled the day! The Balboa Peninsula provided both bay and ocean playgrounds for everyone in the neighborhood. Sand dunes became forts, and caves and coves were the perfect hideouts to stash secret treasures. Jetties, buoys, and seawalls allowed for unending exploration, while rowboats, bikes and skateboards offered freedom of movement from one end of the neighborhood to the other. Children played outside until the sun fully set or the cowbell rang denoting dinnertime, whichever came first. An adventurer at heart, Carter pursued a career as a US Merchant Mariner in her twenties, and for 13 years she traveled to exotic ports-o-call across the globe. The heightened awareness she experienced during her travels abroad ignited her desire to learn more about cultures other than her own. Thus, she pursued a master's degree in Intercultural Communication and subsequently accepted a professorship at Hawaii Pacific University, where she taught a range of writing and communication courses. Through the years, Carter also upheld a vocation as a writer. Her published works appear in such publications as Journal for General Semantics, Professional Mariner magazine, as well as several periodicals in Hawaii. But it was her increasing knack for creating original ditties, poetry, short stories, and songs that gave rise to what many consider her unique voice for writing children's books. Today Carter focuses on writing books for young children, filling pages with whimsical content, lyrical verses, and full-page color illustrations designed to elevate a youngster's reading experience. Her stories resound of playful fairy tales of yesteryear, through which she hopes to spark imagination, encourage individuality, and instill into young minds a sense of wonder and excitement. Today, Carter lives with her husband, two Labradors and a Dutch rabbit. She splits her time between Los Cabos, Mexico and their home in Lake Arrowhead, California - Inkwell Lodge - where she hosts writers wishing to develop or advance their own writing skills.
