The bookshelf
Teddy & Friends is the umbrella — everyone here is a friend of Teddy. Each series is a region of his world. Pick one to see its books, age ranges and the lesson in every story.
Cypress Bayou
Clotile's Bayou Adventures
Different is something to celebrate.
Cypress trees, lily pads and a curious young alligator named Clotile. Warm, funny stories about belonging and courage down in the swamp.
The lesson: Everyone belongs, and being different is a gift.
Aunt Rhoda's Care Closet
Benji
Brave enough to ask for help.
Front porches, neighbors and the little Schichon with a big heart. Stories about courage, generosity and the people who show up for us.
The lesson: Real bravery sometimes means asking for help.
Big Branch
The Branch Series
Stories we wrote together.
Created hand-in-hand with students at Zion Chapel schools — their characters, their ideas, brought to the page.
The lesson: Great stories grow when we make them together.
Coral Cove
The Beach Series
Name coming soon.
A brand-new coastal corner of Teddy's world — dunes, tide pools and salty-breeze adventures.
The lesson: Curiosity is wonderful — safe boundaries keep us free to explore.
Blackberry Hollow
Jenny & the Fireflies
Memories made together.
Jenny's own series begins at a firefly picnic in the meadow — warm evening stories about friendship and the moments we keep.
