Do you find it harder and harder to pull your children away from screens and create the magical family moments you dream of? 

As a mother of 4th-generation Idaho farm kids and now a grandmother, I deeply understand the challenge of competing with the digital world for our children's attention.

I created Gona's Reading Ranch to help parents and grandparents who struggle to find engaging alternatives to tablets and video games, but want to nurture family bonds and teach valuable life lessons.

Growing up on our family farm in Burley, Idaho, I discovered that stories have an incredible power to capture young imaginations and create precious moments of connection.

My award-winning books (including the Indie Book Award, IBPA-Benjamin Franklin Award, and two North American Book Awards) transport children to a world where everything feels magical. ✨ 

Through tales of farm adventures and challenges, your little ones will learn important values like responsibility and caring for others, all while discovering the joy of unplugging and letting their imaginations soar.

Let's bring back the wonder of childhood, one story at a time.
