Meet the Author:

Pam has been an early childhood music educator for over twenty-five years with a passion for singing, rhyming, reading stories, and making music with preschoolers.

When Pam noticed that some children seemed unfamiliar with traditional nursery rhymes, and that parents and teachers were avoiding them because of their outdated, dark, and inappropriate nature, she set out to update them. Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times® provide a memorable way to build language, musicality, and literacy through songs, stories and rhymes that nurture kindness, empathy, and gratitude. The inclusion of resources that support social and emotional learning (SEL) make it easy for parents and teachers to engage with the children they love.

The rhymes in the book can also be enjoyed as songs on the "Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times" album recorded by Raffi and Lindsay Munroe, on the EP recorded by Laurie Berkner titled "Laurie Berkner Sings Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times" and in videos on the Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times® Show on YouTube.

Pam has also made it her mission to share what she has learned about how to effectively integrate music and stories to support SEL and language skills in early childhood settings. She provides engaging and interactive sessions to early childhood teachers and caregivers to support their professional development and build their confidence in using music and rhymes with the children they care for. She is also available for school visits.

Aside from sharing stories and songs with young children, Pam loves dogs and dark chocolate. She lives in New York with her husband, and loves when her children, grandchildren, and granddogs come to visit!

Meet the Author:

I was born in a small New England town. Growing up I lived just two houses away from my grandparents, and spent countless days hanging out with Grammie and Pupa playing games and gardening. I loved flowers, and still do. I would roam the fields picking wild Lupine, Queen Anne's Lace, and, of course, Daisies. This book is a legacy to my grandparents, a way of saying thank you for the sweet memories. May you make sweet memories with your little ones as you read this book with them.

Book Details:

Book Title: Muddy Spokes by Katie Kuperman
Category: Children's Fiction (Ages 4-10), 31 pages
Genre: Children's Picture Book. Children's - emotions, life lessons, self-esteem
Publisher: Katie Kuperman
Publication Date: June 11, 2024.
Tour dates: Aug 13 to Sep 6
Content Rating: G

***AN EXCELLENT TEACHING BOOK IN A FUN FORMAT***
***GREAT FOR KIDS, PARENTS, SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS***
***PART OF ALL PROCEEDS DONATED TO CHILDREN'S CHARITIES***

Book Description:

This is a fun and comical story about resilience and resourcefulness.

Spokes is a bicycle wheel who wakes up happy and excited for the day ahead. Everything doesn't quite go as smoothly as expected, however, and after a few tricky twists and turns, Spokes is covered in mud! This isn't exactly an ideal situation for a wheel who's trying to roll efficiently through the town to make it to school on time. Now Spokes is muddy, discouraged, running late and moving very sl-o-o-o-o-wly.

How will this cute and lovable wheel get out of this mess?

It’s going to take strength, determination and a wee bit of courage. Written for children aged 4-10, this is a story of resilience and resourcefulness because I truly believe these are two of the greatest teachings we can impart on our younger generation.

After all, life is full of mud. And we all get a little muddy sometimes, don’t we?

The mud isn’t the problem. It’s what we do next that counts.
