Welcome To Rose's Childrens Books

Hello and thank you for stopping by my webpage!

I'm Rose McFarland and I'm so very glad you're here.  For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed reading and story telling.  I've spent many wonderful hours  in my youth sailing the high seas looking for pirate gold, flying on the back of a dragon or learning how the stars were born and what might be out in our vast universe. 

All these marvelous stories instilled a love for the written word and the worlds it can bring to life with just your imagination.

And eventually I became inspired to write my own stories which I hope will entertain and encourage young readers to find their next great adventure.

Much of my writing is in rhyme which is both challenging and fun with a whimsical and care free spirit.  I hope you enjoy!

What adventures do you dream of?
