LISA | Lisa Renee Brown- Children's Book Author

What if your thoughts and questions were seeds? What might you grow?

This collection of poetic musings invites readers of all ages to pause, to wonder, and to explore the mysteries of life—from the marvels of nature to the depths of the human mind, and everything in between.

The Garden of Wonder embraces the big, timeless questions—those without a single right answer. It encourages children (and adults) to ask, reflect, and let their imaginations roam freely with curiosity.

At its heart, this book is a call to reconnect with your inner artist. Whether you write, paint, sing, sculpt, or create in your own unique way, the arts are among the few parts of us that transcend time. Our creations reveal who we are and allow us to be truly seen.

This book is an artistic tapestry—woven from my poetry and the inspired works of artists of all ages who responded to these words. With poems written at different levels, it offers something meaningful for readers from upper elementary through adulthood. Classrooms, families, and individual dreamers alike will find a place here.

After all, one of the best ways to learn begins with a question…

So, what will you ask next?

“It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.” ~Eugene Ionesca~

Welcome to my world of whimsical, fun, engaging, and entertaining stories—where imagination meets education.
Here, every tale is crafted to be relatable, meaningful, and full of learning, making reading an adventure for both children and the grown-ups who guide them. My books span a diverse range—from silly and imaginative stories to those that explore important themes in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), as well as tales designed to teach essential academic skills in math, science, reading, and writing.

From the earliest days of human history, we’ve learned best through storytelling—passed down from generation to generation. The same holds true today. So why should the water cycle or food chain only be taught through dry, hard-to-relate nonfiction texts? Why should multiplication and division be reduced to rote memorization and worksheets?

I bring these essential skills to life through fictional narratives filled with fun characters and exciting plots. These stories not only entertain but also deepen understanding and ignite curiosity in young learners.

What sets my books even further apart is the included Parent and Teacher Guide—a valuable resource for anyone looking to support a children’s literacy and comprehension. These guides feature:

Definitions and examples of key comprehension elements from the story
Practical tips and strategies for teaching these skills
Leveled questions for differentiated instruction and higher order thinking
Extension activities across subjects including math, science, reading, writing, and art

I’m thrilled to introduce the first of many literary creations:
Meet Ms. Grumplemeyer—a delightfully odd teacher who will make you wonder if you’re dreaming. Let the learning (and laughter) begin!
