Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
Thistle & Ember Press was created with one simple goal: to provide books and resources that help children grow with confidence, kindness, resilience, and hope.
As a homeschooling parent and children’s author, I’ve seen how powerful stories can be. A good book doesn’t just entertain—it can open conversations, ease worries, answer difficult questions, and help children feel understood. That’s the heart behind every book, printable, and activity you’ll find here.
Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, teacher, homeschool family, counselor, or therapist, I hope these resources become tools that make learning and growing together just a little bit easier.
This blog will be a place to share updates on new books, free printables, behind-the-scenes glimpses into the writing process, homeschooling ideas, reading recommendations, and practical tips for supporting children’s emotional well-being.
Thank you for stopping by and being part of this journey. I hope you’ll explore the site, download a few free resources, and visit again soon. There are many more stories still to come.
