Meet the Author:

Tamara Broody is a mother, writer, and former reading specialist with a deep-rooted love of stories and the magic of early learning. She’s spent years in the classroom, working in both elementary and special education settings, helping young readers discover the joy of books. Now, as a stay-at-home mom to her two sons, she’s rediscovering that magic all over again—this time through play, picture books, and everyday moments with her own children.

Living on the coast, Tamara finds daily inspiration in the slow, simple beauty of home and nature. Her writing comes to life in cozy corners, often with a cup of coffee nearby and her orange-and-white cat Pancake curled beside her. Pancake, a gentle companion with a love for window-watching and long naps in sunbeams, inspired the story behind Pancake’s Golden Day—a book born from quiet mornings, warm light, and the sweet rhythm of motherhood.
