Meet Michelle!

A published author, and homeschooling mom, Michelle enjoys seeing children’s natural creativeness come out in everything they do.

From a very early age her children loved making little books and telling elaborate stories as they played. She knew her children weren’t the only ones who loved storytelling, and she wanted to encourage this creative pastime for as long as she could, in as many children as she could.

Michelle also loves supporting other authors. Working with indie authors, and small press, she hopes to encourage and support more than just the children who receive the box.

With these two things in mind, Little Arrow Author Box was born!

If we each shine our light, the world will become a brighter place.

FAQ’s

Have a question you don’t see an answer for? Contact us!

Why are there no lines or prompts in the book?

No lines. No boundries!

As adults, we may be intimidated by blank paper. But the kids who love to draw and create their own stories are not!
Lines and prompts on the page would get in the way of their creative flow.
And feel too much like school.
If they like graphic novels, they can easily draw in the lines wherever they want them to be. Giving them full creative control!
If they want to write a story with mostly or only pictures, then the line would only be in the way, or in the wrong place.
For the kids who may need some prompts, we put all of those into our custom sticker sheets and story challenge cards. 

My kids don’t need more stuff. Is the box full of trinkets and things they won’t really need?

No, these boxes are all about experiences, literacy, art and maximizing creativity with minimal things.

Does the blank book have any writing on it anywhere?

Just our logo on the back cover. Otherwise, the front cover and the pages are completely blank. We felt that adding any lines or boxes cuts off the creative flow of the child. The blank page is a blank canvas for the children to create their own world.

What ages are these for?

We recommend our boxes for ages 5-11. However, this can vary per child.

My child doesn’t know how to write yet. Would this still be a good gift?

YES! Children too young to write can draw their story and tell it to their loved ones. As children learn to write, they can practice their phonics. It’s the cutest thing to see their creative minds at work at such a young age.

Will it feel like a school assignment?

We hope not! Although these books can pare nicely with some homeschool curriculums, we don’t want it to “feel like school.” These are all about kids being creative and having NO RULES, so they can tell the story just as they want. Being free to let the creativity flow and not focusing on misspelled words or getting things grammatically right.

Can I buy just one box?

Yes! You can visit our shop for one time purchases. 

Are your boxes for boys, or girls, or both?

The boxes sent out in the subscription will be, for the most part, gender neutral. If you are looking for a box that is a little more tailored for one or the other, you can find some custom-made boxes in our shop. As a mother, I know sometimes we want a great gift for our girly girl or our rough and tumble boy. We’ve got you covered there!

Can I see what’s in the next box before I subscribe?

Part of the fun of subscription boxes are the surprise you get when opening them. We will sometimes give hints on our social media platforms. But most of the contents of each new box will be a surprise. However, you can look through our shop at past boxes to get an idea of what sort of thing will be included.
