About

"Ah! Those are just summer knees!" Our grandmother would say this to us whenever she saw the bumps, bruises, scabs, and scars on our knees. Some days we also had summer elbows, chins and feet! These "summer knees" marked our adventures, exploration, and a whole lot of fun! But they were also reminders of our tears and mistakes. When my sister and I set out on this venture of creating a children's book publishing company, we knew we were taking a risk and that there would be several bumps and bruises along the way - all part of the adventure. At Summer Knees Books, like our knees, we believe in imperfect works of art and working to make our and our children's dreams come true. Our first series of books: "books for kids written by kids" are stories told and written by our kids. MJ's first book was written with a good friend of ours and once she wrote a book, her little brother had to follow too! They both have inspired us to write books and tell the world our stories!
