Well, hello there!
Welcome to our cozy corner of the Internet. Would you like a cup of tea? Or maybe a cup of coffee? A scone? Let’s settle into our favorite comfy chairs — book in hand, cat on lap — for some quiet reading time. If you didn’t bring your book today, or are feeling a touch restless and would rather go for a walk in the wind, we’re always up for one of those, too. Either way, we’ll help you remember to take a deep breath and enjoy a bit of quiet time.
You’re definitely in the right place if you want to:
🤎 Nurture your imagination
🤎 Make your everyday more charming
🤎 Recommit to enjoying some of life’s simplest pleasures
🤎 Read what you want, not what anyone else says you should
🤎 (Re)discover a reading life of ease and bliss
🤎 Support indie bookstores
🤎 Help us support literacy efforts, AND help us give 10,000 books to kids
MEET THE AUTHOR/PUBLISHER
Who’s the book nerd 🤓 behind the screen?
Hi, there! I’m Jennifer — writer, reader, gardener, and the founder of Read+Purr (boutique publisher of Tiny Garden Story books).
In my free time, you can usually find me snuggled inside (with a book and at least one cat, of course), or outside — in our garden, in the woods, or on a walk.
Like my old friend Frederick (📖 🐭), I collect images, stories, and snippets of nature … and pass them along in the form of cozy little 100-word tales.
TINY GARDEN STORIES
I’m here to nurture the imaginations of today’s readers … and tomorrow’s.
I help the quiet ones find their way back to the simple pleasure of reading, for the fun of it. Taking my cue from the stories we all loved as quiet, bookish kids, I write tiny, charming tales — full of enchantment, tranquility, and wonder — that delight grown-ups and children alike.
And because I believe that everyone, no matter their age or circumstances, deserves to experience the blissful escape — the comfort, the endless possibilities, and especially the hope — that comes from getting lost in a good story, we here at Read+Purr also help provide thousands of books to children and families who need them.
