Carrie Hyatt

Hello, I'm Carrie Hyatt, and I'm so glad to have the privilege of sharing my stories with you. My mission is to create teachable moments that touch and bond those reading my books with those who actively listen. Readers will find something deeper to discuss and something special to learn not just from my stories, but from listening to and through meaningful interaction with one another. I've always had a passion for writing and for creating teachable moments with children through my written work. I'm a former homeschooling mom. I enjoyed teaching my own kids and running a homeschool group that grew to nearly 50 families and over 100 kids. I wrote curricula and devotionals for all kinds of educational purposes for kids of all ages. Many of my children's stories were written during those precious years. I wrote, Spider! Snake! and Bee! from some of my own experiences dealing with fear and remembering my mom's techniques to help me cope. As a child, I used to get the heebeegeebees, and I became speechless at the sight of any spider. My fearless mom was often there to rescue me. She was very patient, and creative with me and my siblings to gently steer us away from the debilitating effects of fear. I believe the Shout Fear Out series will help equip people both young and old to conquer some of their fears through laughter and meaningful interaction. I invite you to find something deeper to discuss and something special to learn not just from my stories, but from listening to and interacting with one another. Stories available now are: Harvey the Owl Asks, "Why?" Spider! Snake! Bee! Mouse! Aria Aardvark Likes Ants (great if you have a picky eater!) Mouse! is the newest release. Visit www.carriehyatt.com to listen to my audio recording of the book! Get ready to shout, "Mouse!" in this fast paced and highly interactive story. A mouse and the woman of the house have locked eyes on each other and neither dare to blink for fear of each other. In a comical way, the tension around them builds as real life dangers ensue! Not even a cat ready to pounce or a chicken burning in the oven will break their stare. Find out what does and how they came to be face to face in the first place! You might not want to blink either when you read MOUSE!
