From the Field:
"Kids will connect to the storylines in these fun little books featuring diverse and relatable characters. Adults will love the 'Cheat Sheets' with information about decodability, HFWs, and conversation ideas all in one place."
"I really love these as an option for early readers...a collection of texts that allow for diverse representation which is sorely needed in books for beginning readers. The scope and sequence-aligned texts will be so supportive. I also love that the books make sense and sound like natural language while also supporting readers to apply their phonics knowledge to connected text reading."

About Us
When we started Daffodil Hill Press, our goal was to create the kinds of books we wished our students could have in their hands and the kind of resources that we want to use as educators. We care deeply about educators and about children, and that’s who we keep in mind as we author and illustrate books, construct instructional resources for teachers, and lead professional development.
