Episode One – Adventures in the Heart of Children's Book Authors, The Story Behind the Story.

Welcome to Episode One of the Adventures in the Heart of Children's Book Authors podcast. (Our podcas show can be found on Kaboose on the Rocky Mountain Bear website.)

The idea for this podcast show resulted from our journey to become a published Children's Book author and how to reach children's book readers.

Only when I became a grandpa, did I think creating a children's book would be fun?

Our first grandchild, Kyra, took a few years to develop into a little person. She became my imagination guide.

I share our story to demonstrate that our path is only one of many paths to becoming a children's book author or a proud supporter of children's book authors.

This podcast will help give you, as a listener, a glimpse into the story behind becoming a children's book author.

What happened next kickstarted a legacy for my wife, our grandchildren, and me.

Living Legacy versus Legacy

You might be asking, what is a living legacy versus a legacy?
