The Bug Does Books: Our Children's Picture Stories

In 2021, my best friend and I set a goal to publish children’s picture books through Kindle Direct Publishing. One I wrote when I was 10. The other two, recent poems. If you know a kid, are a kid, or see a kid, check them out! My favorite part about these books are the illustrations that bring the stories to life. I’m so beyond impressed and proud of Nasim - who happens to be my favorite collaborator and the other half of “The Bug Bloggers.” I’m excited for our continued partnership in sharing stories with the next generation! We’re currently working on the paperback versions of our books below, but we’ll update this page as we add more tales!
