The gap nobody talked about

Your kid has spent their whole reading life in a world that isn't theirs.

School hallways. Cafeteria drama. The school bus. That's the world almost every middle grade book lives in. Your kid has never set foot in any of it — but they've been reading about it their whole lives. Nobody noticed that was worth fixing. We did.

"That's me. That's my life. I'm the kid in this story." — Finally, for the first time ever.

Callie Cae and the
Co-op CATastrophe

by Katie O'Leary
From Chapter 1
"I woke up with the queasy feeling in my tummy. My mom said it was maybe because I didn't drink enough water the day before, but I think it was because I ate four lollipops I found in my backpack and some of them didn't have the wrapper on."

We noticed the gap.
So we filled it.

We kept waiting for someone to write a great elementary book where the kids are homeschooled. Nobody did. So Katie wrote it herself. This is us starting the thing. Enjoy.

🌿
About homeschoolers, not just by them
Callie's world is the co-op, the kitchen table, the siblings. Your kid opens it and thinks — that's my life.
📖
Stories, not lessons
No agenda hiding inside. No lesson plan dressed up as fiction. Just a story your kid will beg for at bedtime.
🌱
Faith like good soil
In the roots, not on the label. It shapes everything quietly — never a sermon, never announced.
"My daughter finished it in one sitting and immediately asked when the next one comes out. That hasn't happened with a book in years."
"Callie sounds exactly like my kid. I kept reading it aloud at dinner because I couldn't stop laughing. Highly recommend."
"I love that I didn't have to preview it or worry. I just handed it over. That peace of mind is worth everything."
