Young Geraldine longs to have adventures as thrilling as those in the Book of Tales, the book her papa reads to her and her brother Button at night. More than that, she wants to be brave—a seemingly impossible task in a world where ravens throw black shadows over the earth and wolves prowl barren lands in search of their prey. But Geraldine is a mouse. The weakest of ground things. Why was she, who wants so much to be brave, created by God to be small and quivering?

Karin Kaufman grew up devouring murder mysteries, especially of the cozy kind. Give her a mystery, a comfy couch, and her sweet rescue dog Dakota Grace at her side, and she’s in heaven. She’s the author of the Smithwell Fairies Cozy Mystery Series and the Juniper Grove Cozy Mystery Series.

When Karin is feeling whimsical, which is pretty much all the time, she writes children’s books. She’s the author of the Geraldine Woolkins Series, adventure tales for middle-grade readers and read-aloud families. Her passion is to delight and entertains children through stories of faith, peril, and hope. Lots of hope.
