From My Heart to Your Loved One’s Door

Send a story that will be read, loved, remembered, and revisited for years to come.

Children adore getting mail—so what could be better than receiving a book in the mail?
When you order The Sea’s Slowest Snail through my website, your gift includes everything that makes reading it even more special:
✨ Stickers
💌 A personal note from you
📜 A note from me, the author
✏️ Plus, materials for the child to write their own note to someone special

The Sea’s Slowest Snail isn’t just about a snail who delivers mail—it’s a gentle, meaningful story about kindness, connection, and caring for others. It’s about showing love through simple acts that ripple outward.

As a former third-grade teacher, a mom, an aunt, and a friend to many grandparents, I believe deeply in showing children the magic of carrying a positive message. When kids share kindness and care, they strengthen others—and themselves.

In my story, Sheldon the snail chooses to stay in the light of warmth and goodness, even when surrounded by unhappy sea urchins. His kindness inspires them to follow—and soon, the darkness gives way to light.

There are hundreds of reasons I wrote this story, and hundreds more why it matters. But what makes it truly special is this:
You’ll find your own reason for sharing it—and the child who receives it will discover their own reason why it matters, too.

Amy V. Stories children’s books invite readers into bright, imaginative worlds where snails deliver mail, inventors create rhymes, and birds land on heads — each character with a purpose and a story to tell.

Written in gentle, memorable rhyme, these tales are perfect for read-aloud moments with ages 3–8. Each story blends humor and heart, whimsy and wisdom, making reading together pure joy.

Though written for little ones, their gentle truths grow deeper with time — offering new meaning each time they’re revisited.
