ArmLin House Productions welcomes Miranda Tanner to our team of children's book authors. As you'll see, she's unapologetically herself and her imaginations is incredibly vivid. When asked to describe herself, she says, "Friendly, fun & spontaneous. Sprinkle of mom, Pixiedust."
In Miranda's book series, a chemical spill flows through a town and turns animals and inanimate objects into unique monsters with vibrant personalities. After humans force them to relocate, these spunky creatures build a community, make forever friends, and find their authentic selves, all the while experiencing life through valuable lessons about acceptance, manners, kindness towards others, and more...
When asked how the ideas for this series came to mind, she says, "My son Wyatt used to ask me to watch or read things to him about silly monsters. He was never satisfied. So one day I asked him what kind of monsters he wanted to see, and I started drawing. He named several of them: Ugh, Pierre, Boo, Flaps, and Vee are just a few. Then one day I decided to start writing about them in poetry--I journal through poetry. Then it just kept going. And now my son Maverick is into it, and he's my assistant."
Probably the best way to introduce Miranda is with her poem about herself mixed in with a few of her mutant monsters.
