Children’s Books About the Coast to Make the Move Easier for Kids
Hi, I’m Susie Siemiontkowski. Not only am I a REALTOR® on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, but I’m also a published author. How did that happen? I had the honor of helping families in Gulfport, Ocean Springs, Pass Christian, and Biloxi find their dream homes while working with a local homebuilder. The experience featured three St. Jude Dream Home giveaways dedicated to fighting childhood cancer. During this time, I noticed a common concern – moving is scary for little ones. So, I used local attractions in children’s books to overcome the fear of moving. Each book follows Ariel and Sebastian while exploring the magical Mississippi Gulf Coast.
“Two Times the Jitters, Two Times the Fun” is about Ariel and Sebastian’s first day at a new school. “Sebastian’s Pen Pal Adventures” shares stories in exciting spots like The Mississippi Aquarium, The Pascagoula River and The Infinity Science Center near NASA. Exploring our coastal towns leads the kids to new friends and extraordinary experiences. Every book has a matching activity book with puzzles, games, and mazes for extra fun and interactivity. Parents are giving the books a big thumbs up for helping their 5-11-year-olds use their imaginations to conquer moving day butterflies. Books are available on Amazon.
But I don’t stop at storytelling; I’m also a proud contributor to Gulf Coast Woman Magazine, dishing out real estate tips and design advice. I’ve enjoyed showcasing families and their motivation for moving to the MS Gulf Coast. Each article shares their recent adventures, favorite spots, and newfound admiration for the southern hospitality the Secret Coast is known for. Feel free to call me for access to the articles.
