Carrie HyattHello, I'm Carrie Hyatt, and I'm so glad to have the privilege of sharing my stories with you. My mission is to create teachable moments that touch and bond those reading my books with those who actively listen. Readers will find something deeper to iscuss and something special to learn not just from my stories, but from listening to and interacting with one another. I've always had a passion for writing and for creating teachable moments with children through my written work. My love for teaching children graduated into homeschooling my own kids and running a homeschool group that grew to nearly 50 families and over 100 kids. I wrote curricula and devotionals for all kinds of educational purposes for kids of all ages. Many of my children's stories were written during those precious years. I wrote, Spider!, Snake!, and Bee! from some of my own experiences dealing with fear and remembering my mom's techniques to help me cope. As a child, I used to get the heebeegeebees, and I became speechless at the sight of any spider. My fearless mom was always there to rescue me. She was very patient, creative, and clever with me and my siblings whenever we became fearful for any reason. I believe the Shout Fear Out series will help equip people both young and old to conquer the crippling effects of their fears through laughter and meaningful interaction. I invite you to find something deeper to discuss and something special to learn not just from my stories, but from listening to and interacting with one another. Stories available now: Spider! Snake! Bee! &, Aria Aardvark Likes Ants (great if you have a picky eater!) Read More Read Less
