Valerie Maguire became inspired to start writing children’s books after reading to a friend’s daughter and finding the books she read were boring and devoid of any learning. A life-long learner, she was immediately inspired to start writing children’s books that adults and kids would have fun reading while learning something along the way.

Although she was never blessed with children of her own, Valerie is the active Auntie of nine nieces and nephews. She loved crafting and sharing stories with her young nieces and nephews while they were scattered around her on the family room floor. Some of her most cherished memories are when she would use a word that was beyond their vocabulary and watch their squishy faces respond, “Huh?”

Look Momma, Sun Valley Edition and Strong Like Mom are available on Amazon, valeriemaguire.com and in gift shops around Sun Valley and Boise, Idaho. Valerie is working on a third book titled, Lily and Her Adventures at the Lake which is expected for release in the fall of 2022.
