Behind the Pages: The Journey and Mission of Devin & Rose Series

We are thrilled to share that Reader's House recently featured an in-depth interview with us, Ross and Lilly Jamshidi, discussing the heartfelt inspiration behind our award-winning children's book series, "The Inspiring Stories of Devin & Rose."

Our Journey from Parenthood to Authorship

In the interview, we delve into how our own children inspired the characters of Devin and Rose. By observing our kids' daily adventures and challenges, we aimed to create relatable, lovable characters that other children could connect with and see themselves in. Basing the stories on real-life events, we strive to inspire other parents and kids through authentic narratives that promote positive values like empathy, kindness, and perseverance.​

Educational Philosophy and Storytelling

We also discuss our educational philosophy, influenced by self-directed learning approaches similar to the Montessori method. Our goal is to empower children to explore new things independently, fostering a love for learning and confidence in their abilities. Our stories are designed to ignite imagination and inspire young minds to overcome obstacles with resilience, encouraging children to take charge of their own learning journeys.​

Balancing Entertainment with Life Lessons

Balancing entertaining storytelling with imparting valuable life lessons is a key focus in our writing. By embedding life lessons within engaging plots and relatable characters, we ensure that the messages are conveyed naturally. Our goal is to create stories that children enjoy while subtly imparting values like resilience, empathy, and curiosity, making learning both fun and meaningful.​

Overcoming Challenges

The transition from parents to authors presented challenges, including learning the intricacies of storytelling, publishing, and reaching our audience. Balancing family life with writing and managing Klever Kiddoz required careful time management and dedication. We overcame these challenges by staying true to our mission of sharing valuable lessons through authentic stories, continuously learning, and adapting along the way.​

Recognition and Impact

We are deeply grateful for the support and recognition our work has received. The positive feedback from parents and educators fuels our passion to continue creating stories that not only entertain but also empower children to become the best versions of themselves.​
