    Written by Carole P. Roman

    Illustrated by Mateya Arkova

    Carole P. Roman travels to the stars, orbiting the moon and rocketing past planets in this adorable journey to the far reaches of the galaxy. A beautiful bedtime poem, this verse is sure to delight any child before they go to sleep.

    “Just as the text and illustrations gently curve and sweep across the pages, so do the calming and effortless rhymes in what could be Carole P. Roman’s finest book yet. “—The Children’s Book Review

    Ages 3-7 | Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | 2017 | 978-1483592183

    Can a Princess Be a FirefighterCan a Princess Be a Firefighter?

    Written by Carole P. Roman

    Illustrated by Mateya Arkova

    Two little girls pepper their father with questions about whether or not they can be a profession and still be a princess. Motivated by her granddaughter’s fascination with all things ‘princess,’ Carole P. Roman penned this adorable poem celebrating all the wonderful possibilities waiting ahead for them.

    “Can a Princess Be a Firefighter? is an important must-read for both girls and boys.”—The Children’s Book Review

    Ages 3-7 | Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | 2017 | 978-1483593111

    one-to-ten-squirrels-bad-dayOne To Ten: Squirrel’s Bad Day

    Written by Carole P. Roman

    Illustrations by Mateya Arkova

    Squirrel is running along a tree limb when she trips, losing all her acorns into the rushing water of the river below. Angry and frustrated, she doesn’t know what to do. Her good friend, Rabbit, lends both a sympathetic ear as well as a solution. Rather than get angry, Rabbit tells her, rate the problem on a scale of one-to-ten. By identifying and realizing the true importance of the issue, the issue may not seem so overwhelming. Adorable forest creatures help the sad squirrel put everything into perspective so he does not to get stuck in a rut over something that may not be a big deal after all.

    “As well as being a story with likable characters, Roman’s book can be used as a tool to aid in conversations about difficult situations and also to help soothe the minds of young worriers. Highly Recommended.”—The Children’s Book Review

    Ages 4-8 | Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | 2017 | 978-1483592268
