Overview

"Cosmo's mom works at her family business, selling funnel cakes at their booth at the state fair. Cosmo thinks it's the coolest job ever and wants to be part of the family tradition, too, but he's too young to do things like fry the batter in hot oil. So he looks for help from his friend, Lily, the fair's magician. The two kids look about to see how a kid can help out, going through all the jobs in the business and learning powerful tips like ""Help Your Team."" Realizing these ""adult"" jobs won't work for him, Cosmo comes up with an idea to make funnel cakes fly and a new family tradition is born. With clever rhymes and painterly illustrations, this playful and nostalgic story is a perfect read-aloud for families and educators of young children. This fun read aloud includes a learning objective at the end of the story and teaches children about a family business, chipping in and doing their part for the business, teamwork, how to deal with stress and a physics lesson in a magic trick with the spinning plate prop."

Author Information

My greatest joy when my son was little was to snuggle up at the end of a long day and read picture books. Now that he is grown, in college and I am an empty nester, I have written over 12 picture books of my own. My stories are inspired by things that annoy me like the loud bird outside my window and my misbehaved dog; things that make me curious, like what's up with that inflated whoopie cushion in the middle of the road and sentimental memories like the days my son and I would go on adventures in our hometown.Cosmo's Flying Funnel Cakes is my first to publish, but will definitely not be my last. I plan to find talented illustrators and eventually publish all of my stories!I am a former journalist, a certified life coach and a substitute teacher. When my son was little, I started a school garden and served on a board to start a children's museum in Tulsa, OK. I am a member of SCBWI and a Chicago area moth style storytelling writer's group and I tell personal stories on stage with First Person Live. I also own a funnel cake booth at The State Fair of Texas. YUMMERS!
