My Mom Dances in the Kitchen and Other Horror Stories

My Mom Dances in the Kitchen and Other Horror Stories is a laugh-out-loud, relatable children’s book that captures the “horrors” kids experience in everyday family life—loving, embarrassing, and wildly human moments that feel enormous through a child’s eyes.

This playful collection reframes what kids might call “cringe” into something deeper: connection, joy, and unconditional love. It’s a story that invites families to laugh together—and maybe see each other a little differently.

• Ages 4–10
• Family read-alouds
• Parents who don’t take themselves too seriously
• Gift-giving (especially for moms!)
• Sparking conversations about living authentically

• Flashlight: It provides a path in the dark. Helps you explore and stay curious. Makes you feel safe along the way.
