Jaye Garnett believes that kids are smarter than we give them credit for! So when he writes books for children, he uses rich content that will spark curiosity and build their vocabulary. If a child wants to learn more about something after reading his book, he considers that a WIN!

When Jaye isn't inspiring young minds, you might find him in a lighthouse. He is trying to visit every historic lighthouse in the U.S. He'd love to live in a lighthouse, but his spousal unit prefers to just admire them. For now.

(psssst! Jaye Garnett is actually a pen name for the Cottage Door Press team who worked on this book.)

Cottage Door Press is an independent publisher of high-quality children's books. Our books are designed to spark curiosity in the littlest readers and fan the flames of lifelong learning. We understand children deserve our respect. That's why we always select artwork and stories that encourage caregivers to "read up" to their little ones--exploring interests together, learning together, and giving their young minds room to grow.

We also believe in creating stories that reflect the boundless possibilities of all children. We hope to create books that inspire little ones to connect, encourage them to dream, give them cause to celebrate, and allow them to see themselves beautifully reflected in the stories they read.

To bring these beautiful stories to life, our diverse and talented staff collaborates with authors and illustrators from all backgrounds and nationalities. We have also partnered with multicultural brands and literacy organizations to make sure our books reflect and reach as many little ones as possible.
