Her heart for exposing as many kids as possible to Christ is inspiring. Taryn is a Christian writer for the general market-in other words, while she’s not overtly sharing the gospel in her books, she shows the characteristics of Christ through her stories. And her sense of humor made our classes a lot more fun! Taryn’s passion for writing for children was clear from the moment she started teaching. One of my favorite sessions was “Children’s Writers’ Boot Camp” with Taryn Souders. God used that conference-the first time I’d ever been that surrounded by Christian writers-to bring clarity and purpose to my writing. “I don’t write anything that my kids wouldn’t read,” Souders says.įrom discussions on characters throughout Souders books to learning ways to make adding and subtracting fun, the VCS 6th grade book club had quite the afternoon.*Please note, this post contains affiliate links. In fact, she has her very own fan base right at home…her kids. She loves being able to have a hobby that’s successful and capable of flexibility to travel and most importantly, spend time with her family. From that point on, Souders started writing books which include “Whole-y Cow! Fractions are Fun,” “How to (Almost) Ruin Your Summer,” and “Dead Possums Are Fair Game.” Souders didn’t just walk with the idea, she ran with it and began watching the pieces fall into place with her writing career for years to come.
“I was actually trying to write a poem about Moses, oddly enough, and the phrase ‘Holy Cow’ just popped in my head,” Souders said. What started off as an interest in writing, specific topic knowledge, and passion to help others learn, quickly progressed into something more. Instead, she spent her time teaching math to middle-school students. This author’s unique journey makes her stand out, along with her sincere attitude and passion toward teaching kids to love reading and math. What do writing, math and literary talent all have in common? They each spell out the name Taryn Souders, and students at Viera Charter School were able to hear firsthand from this author during book club one February day.
