Welcome!

Hi friends and soon to be friends!

Thanks for stopping by!

I’m Kathy Ellen (entire first name, please call me Kathy Ellen, not Kathy) Davis, kidlit author, Mama, and bookseller who shares book recommendations and lists, the writing journey, educating my toddler, and advocating for indie bookstores.

Though I’ve been actively seeking out books to read starring BIPOC characters and by BIPOC writers, recent events have shown me that I have so much more to learn about the history of racism and where we are today. It’s also shown me that I need to step up more. It’s not enough to not be racist. I need to work on being antiracist. So I will be sharing more of what I’ve learned and the resources I’ve found here as well.

I aim to be sharing many more blogposts with you soon on that topic and all the topics I listed above.

But never fear, you can find me other places on the internet too!
Here’s where I hang out the most!

Most days you can find me on TikTok,
sharing book recommendations and book talks.

Most days you can also find me in two places on Instagram:
my personal account where I talk about family, kidlit writer life, and share some writing,
and my book account, where I share book recommendations and indie bookstore love.
In both of those I’m much more active in stories, mainly because it’s an easier way to share other other people’s stuff, but I’m getting more feed posts up as well.

To be honest I am on Twitter, but not very often. Like once a month often.

Check out my videos (I want to do more!) on Youtube.
Shoppable booklists are here,
and my etsy shop with helpful printables is here.

Questions?
Contact me!

Thanks!

Kathy Ellen
