Stories built to earn
a child’s attention.

Timmy writes books about imagination, entrepreneurship, generosity and becoming a creator. Every story begins with the same question: will a child care enough to turn the page?

The first reader
was his brother.

Timmy started Billy the Dragon when he was eighteen because he wanted to make his four-year-old brother, Tristan, laugh. That tiny audience became his first creative laboratory.

Reading the story aloud taught him something he still believes: a children’s book has to entertain before it can teach. Kids will tell you—immediately—when a story has lost them.

That lesson followed Timmy from bedtime stories to school stages, publishing projects and the DinoPreneurs books he is now creating for the next generation.

stories.

Fantasy opens the door. Humor keeps children in the room. Ideas about creativity, money, generosity and purpose give families something worth discussing after the last page.
