Adventures with Kenya

Kenya Sanders is a children’s book author, educator, and lifelong believer in the kind of magic that hides in ordinary days—floating just above a child’s imagination, waiting to be discovered. With 18 years of teaching experience, including 13 spent in Montessori classrooms, Kenya has guided countless young learners as they explored the world with curiosity, courage, and a healthy appreciation for the unexpected.

Her training in the Orton-Gillingham approach gave her a scholar’s love of language and a deep understanding of how children learn to read—not just the technical parts, but the emotional ones, too. Kenya brings these insights to her writing, crafting stories that sparkle with humor, wisdom, and wonder.

Whether her characters are solving mysteries, befriending unlikely creatures, or stumbling into magical mayhem, Kenya’s stories always encourage children to think deeply, laugh loudly, and believe boldly. When she isn’t writing or teaching, Kenya is almost always reading.

A lifelong book lover, she believes every child carries a universe of imagination within them, and her mission is to create stories that help unlock it. Through her writing and her work with families, Kenya Sanders is dedicated to nurturing readers who feel seen, supported, and wonderfully curious.

Her books invite children not only to escape into new worlds, but to discover the magic they already carry within themselves.
