Red Pebble books for children by Red Rock Press

When you see a Red Pebble Book or related product, you know that you have found something very special for children. The Red Pebble imprint signifies that we are in the land of genuine childhood, a place where fantasy is honored and where children are nurtured, not dragged, into adulthood.

Red Pebble believes that every child should have a birthday party—even if he or she has had one before! That's right. No child ever minds growing older and each and every kid deserves to have the date of his or her birth celebrated every year. But here at Red Pebble, we also take pity on harried adults (such as ourselves). That's why we've invented Birthday Party in a Bag.

Red Pebble Land exists wherever children are, but it also has special focal points. One of its new addresses is Troublesome Creek, Kentucky, where some annoyingly normal boys and girls live in a hollow, near that very creek. The chronicler of their adventures is Nancy Kelly Allen, a former elementary school teacher and librarian who resides in the same cabin in which she was born, right near Troublesome Creek.

Red Pebble kids, in elementary and intermediate school, don't always like school but they sometimes like school and almost all of them have favorite teachers.

Thank You, Teacher, Because... was born on an early June day when Daisy, then 11, said, "Why don't you publish a book I need? A book that I can give to my teacher on the last day of school."

If you write it and draw pictures for it, and it's good, we'll publish it, we responded. But say what's in your heart, not what you think you should say."

The result is a charmingly-illustrated book that tells what real kids appreciate about certain real teachers. A few of the many thank-you reasons are:

You answer stupid questions.
You appreciate Halloween.
You laugh at my jokes.
You never run out of pencils.
You tell good stories.
You don't play favorites.
I can believe that you were once young.
