Melissa Ryan

Melissa Ryan's love of children's literature began as a young girl with her love for words. Picking up a book, and sitting on the living room couch, she asked her mother "What is a Holly Bibble? (Holy Bible) and ever since, her love of reading and the written word has been part of her life.

As a mother of five, she loved reading favorite bedtime stories over and over...and over...and over again. Until they could be recited from memory.

Having children with unique first names (and spellings!) she wants to share her love of books that will tell stories personalized with a child's name so children everywhere can become part of the story and hear their own special sweet-sounding name. See their name. Sound out their name. And find their own Holly Bibble moments wrapped up in the pages of wonder and awe and maybe just maybe's.

Melissa's Books are inspired by her children, her love of all children, and her own mother Blossom who wanted to wear a pink dress in her book debut "Blossom's 'I Didn't Do It' Hiccum-ups Day", but had to settle for a purple dress instead.

Melissa's Books include:

* Blossom's "I Didn't Do It" Hiccum-ups Day

* It's Almost Bedtime, Blossom

* Sleep Tight, Ethan and Sugar Bear, Sleep Tight!
