Welcome to Spinning Wheel Stories

At Spinning Wheel Stories, we believe stories are one of the most powerful ways to connect hearts and minds. Children deserve books of substance—stories that trust young readers with nuance, beauty, humor, and wonder. Through words and art, a child can step into a world they have never known: another home, another country, another way of seeing. Stories build empathy, spark curiosity, and remind us of the threads that bind us together. They travel farther than any one person can, crossing generations, borders, and languages, carrying wisdom, wonder, and understanding wherever they go. We exist to share beautiful stories that help children imagine more deeply, feel more kindly, and see the world a little wider.

Meet Reba

Meet Reba, a rhino with a big heart, a bold spirit, and a teeny-tiny bird always along for the ride. A gentle adventure about doing things your own way—with a little help from a feathered friend. Reba’s ready to take on the world—on her own terms. But when a wobbly bike ride calls for a bit of backup, this brave little rhino learns that flying solo doesn’t mean going at it alone. Finalist for the IBPA Bill Fisher First Published Book Award.

    “A tender, empowering story that helps children embrace mistakes, trust their breath, and discover that perfect isn’t the point- showing up is.”
