diversity, and embracing what makes us unique!
Carrot is on a mission—he’s searching for his orange! But
there’s just one problem… he’s green! With the help of a
friendly orange from a nearby tree, Carrot embarks on a journey across the
farm, asking the other crops for help. But as confusion grows, Carrot soon
discovers something surprising—carrots can be all sorts of colors, not
just orange!
Through fun, playful storytelling and charming illustrations, Not That Orange
teaches young readers (ages 3-5) an important lesson: being different is not
just okay—it’s something to celebrate! In a world that often
focuses on fitting in, this book encourages little ones to embrace who they
are and appreciate the beautiful diversity around them.
Perfect for preschool and kindergarten-aged children, Not That Orange is a
wonderful addition to any home or classroom library, inspiring kids to be
confident in themselves while learning about colors, friendship, and the joy
of being uniquely you!

currently works as an elementary P.E. teacher but has also taught third,
fourth, and fifth grade. With experience as a Reading & Math Coach for
Kindergarten and first grade, Bailey’s ultimate dream is to become an
Elementary Literacy Specialist while continuing to share her love of
storytelling with young readers.
Bailey’s journey as a writer began in the fourth grade when she
discovered the magic of crafting stories—and she hasn’t stopped
since. She embraces an organic writing process, letting ideas flow naturally
from inspiration sparked by books, shows, or random bursts of creativity.
Instead of following structured outlines, she prefers to sit down and let the
words lead the way, trusting that storytelling from the heart produces the
most genuine and meaningful work.
Despite being a perfectionist in many areas, Bailey believes that writing
should be an intuitive and soulful process, with revision and refinement
coming later. She is passionate about inspiring young minds through engaging,
heartfelt stories and hopes to make a lasting impact in both the classroom and
the literary world.
