Meet Ashley, the storyteller

Ashley was inspired to write Benny the Bagel and the Dazzling Donuts during a morning drive with her son—a moment that sparked a story celebrating the importance of being yourself. As a devoted parent, she is motivated every day by her son and pours her passion for children's literature into their ever-growing collection of books. She believes deeply in the power of reading, sharing stories with her son to nurture his language skills and curiosity. When she's not reading or writing, she enjoys spending quality time with her family. Though she once dreamed of becoming a teacher, she now finds fulfillment in teaching her son and discovering inventive ways to foster his love of learning. Through her writing, she hopes to inspire young readers with messages of self-acceptance and curiosity, blending heart and education in every story.
