Moonbeam Children's Book Award Gold Medalist 2025 NAMED AS ONE OF OPRAH'S FAVORITE THINGS 2025 Rosie & Raven is redefining what a children’s book can be by blending art, music, and technology into a one-of-a-kind interactive experience that captivates readers of all ages. This beautifully illustrated hardcover can be enjoyed as a traditional storybook, but when viewed through a smartphone or tablet, the pages come alive with animation and original songs sung by the author – like stepping into a storybook musical right from the page. Thoughtfully designed to nurture imagination, emotional growth, and connection, this unique story can be enjoyed with or without a screen. Optional conversation prompts help kids and grown-ups explore themes like kindness, courage, and creativity — together. When Rosie, a kind-hearted young fairy, gets stranded outside her world in a freezing snowstorm, she must enlist the help of Raven, a lonely little girl, to help her get home. But the only path back to Fairyland is through a full bloomed rose, and together, the duo must discover the secret that will coax one last late-blooming rose bud to open and allow for Rosie’s safe return to her world. Kayla has loved the arts for as long as she can remember, exploring everything from drawing and dancing to singing, acting, and writing. After earning her bachelor’s degree in fine art from the University of Maryland and working as a creative director, she discovered augmented reality. That discovery sparked a new chapter, leading her to create a unique body of work that blended the physical and digital worlds while sharing ancient wisdom in a fresh, modern way. She lives in Los Angeles, California.
