The behind the scenes of Curly Crow - The story behind the book

Get ready to fall in love with the Curly Crow brand and the amazing story behind it! Meet Nicholas Aragon, the passionate author of the Curly Crow children's book series. But Nicholas' story is more than just about creating fantastic children's books. It's a heartwarming tale of love, perseverance, and honoring the legacy of his mother, Barbara Keady.

As a child, Nicholas was an avid reader, and his mother Barbara fueled his love for books by taking him to the library twice a week. But it wasn't until he became an adult that he fully realized the impact of reading on his life. He credits his success as an adult to the love of books that his mother instilled in him at a young age.

Barbara was also a teacher and had a dream of writing books for children. Despite battling brain cancer, she persevered and wrote two children's books before passing away in 2017. Nicholas was determined to carry on his mother's legacy and honor her by publishing her books. He learned how to self-publish, formatted and published the two books on Amazon, and Curly Crow was born.

But Nicholas didn't stop there. He fell in love with the process of publishing books and decided to build upon the Curly Crow character his mother had created. He gave the character a new look and started writing his own stories about her. Nicholas hired an illustrator and began publishing his own Curly Crow children's books. He has now published several books with matching coloring books and made Curly Crow a business, with a website where he sells his books and uses his blog to support parents and help kids develop a love for reading.

Nicholas works full-time in higher education, and even though he loves his job, his true passion is Curly Crow. He spends his free time doing author visits at schools and libraries, speaking to children about his journey as an author and encouraging them to try new things and keep reading. Nicholas and his family miss Barbara very much, but they are reminded of her caring and fun spirit every time they look at Curly Crow.

Join the adventure with Curly Crow and let Nicholas take you on an educational and entertaining journey through his books. The Curly Crow brand is more than just fantastic children's books - it's a labor of love, a tribute to Nicholas' mother, and a reminder of the joy of reading.

Encouraging a Love of Reading in Children: Tips and Tricks from Curly Crow

Reading is an essential skill for children, not only for their academic success but also for their personal growth and development. However, many children today struggle to find the motivation to read. As parents and caregivers, it's important to understand how we can help our children develop a love for reading.

Lead by example: Children often model their behavior after the adults in their lives. If you want your child to read more, make sure to show them that reading is important to you by setting aside time for your own reading each day.Make reading a fun and interactive activity: Instead of just telling your child to read, make it an interactive experience. Ask them questions about the story, have them act out scenes, or create crafts related to the story.Find books that match your child's interests: Children are more likely to enjoy reading when they are reading about topics that they are interested in. Make sure to find books that match your child's interests, whether it's sports, animals, or science fiction.Give your child choices: Giving children the power to choose their own books will help them take ownership of their reading. Allow them to pick out books from the library or bookstore, and encourage them to give their opinion on the books they've read.Create a reading-friendly environment: Make sure your child has a comfortable and quiet place to read. Provide them with a good reading light and a comfortable chair.Reward reading: Create a rewards system for reading. For example, every time your child reads for a certain amount of time, they can earn a prize or a special activity.

Incorporating these tips and tricks will go a long way in encouraging your child to read more. Remember that reading should be a fun and enjoyable activity, not a chore. With patience and consistency, you can help your child develop a love for reading that will last a lifetime.
