Join the adventure as a father drives his three girls to soccer, only to be swept away by an unexpected storm that leads them into a world of imagination, excitement, and family fun.
Blown Away is a whimsical tale where adventure knows no bounds, and the magic of childhood is brought to life with every turn of the page.
In this delightful story, Blown Away not only offers a thrilling narrative but also celebrates the joys of family, the power of imagination, and the importance of shared moments.
Whether you're reading together with your children or gifting them a story that sparks creativity, this book will keep young hearts wide-eyed and inspired.
This book was written and illustrated during a tender season of transition in my life—when my own children were leaving the nest. What I wouldn't give for just one more night: footed pajamas, bedtime giggles, tiny voices begging for “just one more story, Dad.”
I used to marvel at the authors and illustrators who became part of our nightly routine—their stories, their characters, the quiet magic of it all. It’s my hope that this book finds its way into your evening rituals too.
Even on the long days—especially on the long days—I encourage you to pause and soak it in. Curl up together. Get lost in the pages. Let the story carry you somewhere wonderful, and watch their imaginations take flight.
Because the truth is: those bedtime moments, the ones that feel ordinary? They’re anything but. They’re the ones you’ll miss most.
So go ahead—read the story. Make the memory. And don’t blink.

Story time. A year before Blown Away was published, I handed this family an early copy—just pages and sketches back then. I wanted to see if the story would resonate with children between the ages of 4 and 8.
Then they sent me this photo. A picture truly is worth a thousand words. All the kids, gathered close. Eyes wide. Smiles peeking through. Faces full of wonder, hanging on every word. This—this quiet, shared magic—is why I do what I do.
Reading aloud does more than build vocabulary or stretch young minds. It creates connection. It opens doors to imagination, to curiosity, and to memories that linger long after the book is closed.
This is the kind of moment I hope Blown Away brings to your family. A story to gather around. A spark to pass along.
Why is reading to your children so important?
