CUTV News Radio spotlights children’s author Rosemarie Kaupp

Warrington, PA – Your school nurse wasn’t just there to tell you to lay down while she called your mother to come pick you up. She was an integral part of your development too, helping you to understand what it meant to be safe and empowered and healthy. So it makes sense that a school nurse could one day write a book, drawing on her empathy for children.

Rosemarie Kaupp is the author of The Amberella Tales, a series of children’s books. Though not trained as a writer, Rosemarie has worked with children as a school nurse for over 30 years.

“I understand children so well that it’s very easy for me to write for them,” says Rosemarie. “I understand their behavior: what they like, what they don’t like and what they’re looking for when they read.”

The Amberella Tales is a doggie Cinderella story. The first book of the series, Amberella in the City, follows Amberella, a part Staffordshire terrier, part Welsh-corgi puppy born in the country that moves to the city with her new family. This was followed by Amberella and Double Double Trouble. Rosemarie is currently working on a third book, Amberella and the Troublesome Nine.

Rosemarie was inspired to write The Amberella Tales, after losing her son when he was 23 years old.

“I loved reading to my son when he was little and remembered how much he enjoyed it too,” recalls Rosemarie. “As I wrote, it helped me grieve, but also move forward.

“I would like people to know that even if you experience tragedy, it is possible to move forward. It’s possible to have a productive life again. Your life will never be the same but it can be a good life."
