About Beyond Your Words

We write educational books dealing with adolescent issues, directed at tweens: boys and girls ages 8-14. Our target market is concerned parents and their tween-age children who may not recognize the dangers posed by our increasingly technological and complicated world.

We create heart-warming text and spirited illustrations to uplift and inspire children to remember how special they are. Our books encourage young readers to reflect on the effects of their actions.

We found ourselves wishing that we had access to books like these during our own adolescent years. There are so many questions that we could not ask our parents, even though we trusted them. Sadly, many adults are ill prepared and uninformed, and this creates a further barrier to effective communication between generations. We firmly believe that our books ease the fear and discomfort that both children and parents feel. Many families do not know how to openly communicate about the topics our books explore. They can use our books as the tool to begin the conversations.

Beyond your Words books cover all manner of adolescent issues faced by tweens: self-image, technology addiction, childhood obesity, and more. The text and illustrations create an captivating portrait of challenges tweens face and the stages in which they unfold.

Seeing their lives reflected in this way can help ease adolescents' fears and misconceptions about the changes they are undergoing, and not just in the tween years, but in their future adult lives as well. The books open up truly honest discussions in a clear, unbiased style.

It is our deepest heart felt vision to help children and parents globally become aware of the rapidly growing dangers they face in our fast paced and evolving society. Our books are the bridge for today's children to achieve better tomorrows.
