Tammy H. Kersey is a children’s picture book author and virtual grandparenting cheerleader, focused on helping to foster connections between grandparents and their grandkids, particularly if there are lots of miles between them. Kersey’s Rascally Pup Learns & Grows series features rhyming picture books, ideal for ages 4 to 8. Devoted to encouraging active storytimes and language curiosity, each story incorporates an element to naturally encourage activity, or lots of questions. The action is centered around a lively pup who is learning something new in each story. Kids can relate because he is learning through everyday experiences, just like they do!
