Cosmo’s Flying Funnel Cakes

About Cosmo’s Flying Funnel Cakes

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. When he looks for help from his friend, the fair’s magician, he learns a secret trick that has funnel cakes flying 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.

Author Bio:
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!
