In Author-a-Thon Ep. 82, we sit down with Kelley M Likes, children’s author, retired teacher, and publisher at Likes Publishing, to dive into her heartwarming picture book Snout. When Fire Engine No. 74 realizes it’s no longer the fastest rescue truck, it learns that endings can lead to surprisingly new beginnings. Kelley M Likes shares how overcoming a mini-stroke and relearning to write inspired her to create stories that help kids navigate change and resilience. With vivid illustrations, free lesson plans, and storytime videos, Snout gives educators and families practical tools to discuss transitions and personal growth. Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or lifelong reader, this episode reminds you that sometimes a setback is just the start of something beautiful.
