1338: Writing Engaging Books for Kids (and their Parents) with Children’s Book Author Lisa M. Bell

Monday, June 9, 2025

Most educational material for kids ends up being either too dry or too confusing, leaving both children and parents feeling stuck. It’s frustrating when a topic feels important, but every attempt to explain it just leads to glazed-over eyes. The magic happens when a story can turn something dense into something fun—when kids are laughing, asking questions, and actually remembering what they learned. A good children’s book doesn’t just teach—it creates a shared moment between adult and child that sticks far beyond the last page.

Lisa M. Bell blends creativity with clarity, turning complex ideas into stories kids actually enjoy. From solar energy to school adventures, her books simplify big topics without talking down to young readers. After leaving a sales job behind, she found her stride as a full-time author, proving it’s never too late to rewrite your own story. Today, she shares how she crafts engaging narratives, markets her work, and navigates the publishing world. Her mission is to make learning fun—and help kids see the world through curious, confident eyes. Stay tuned!
