Greetings fellow book lovers!
Discover the World of Cindy Scobie-Keepers
Welcome! As a classroom teacher for 35 years, reading to the class was one of my favorite parts of the day. When I retired, I fulfilled my life’s dream to create my own stories. I use ideas from my childhood, from raising my own children, and from the classroom experience.
The Big Black Hole
The idea for this book came from my son. When he was ten years old, he would sit at the table for hours refusing to eat the vegetables on his plate. He would leave the table in victory because I would always give in. In this book, Zac thinks he will out-smart Mom, but those clever vegetables have something else in mind

Olaru Ionut, Robert
I'm Robert. Working as an artist for twenty years, I've blended traditional and digital painting to create imaginative visuals. Over the past ten years, I've worked on children's books turning stories into colorful illustrations. I see my art as a bridge, where people connect, share ideas, and discover new viewpoints.
The Magic of Time
Each child has his/her own time schedule for when they are ready to learn. After years of teaching, I saw many children start off slow but turn it around after a few years. Each child is different. Be patient! With time and hard work, you will succeed! Each child is a “perfect design”.
The Magic of Time
”Alonzo was tired, his mind couldn’t think.
He laid down his head, was asleep in a wink.
The book in his desk hit his lap then the ground.
It landed like THUNDER and made a CLONK sound.”
