Literacy starts with curiosity 📖❄️

When kids see themselves in stories — their world, their adventures, the things they love — reading becomes something they want to do. That belief is at the heart of everything we create at Rocky Tales.

Rok’n Crew Snowboards was written to help kids ride into reading through imagination, confidence, and the joy of learning something new. With snowy scenes, playful characters, and mountain energy on every page, storytime feels less like a lesson and more like a day on the slopes.

Because when reading is fun, literacy grows naturally.
And when stories reflect real life, kids lean in.

Ride into reading with us.

We’ve started something new — a Facebook group for authors and writers in Cochrane, Alberta, and surrounding communities like Canmore, Banff, Bragg Creek, and nearby rural areas.

Cochrane Authors (Alberta) was created as a supportive space to:
• connect with other local writers
• share works in progress & wins
• learn from one another
• and eventually gather offline for book clubs, readings, and creative meetups

Whether you’re published, self-publishing, or quietly writing in the margins — you’re welcome here.

From one author to another. From one mountain mom to another. From one military family to another🫡 🤍

Hearing how Rok’n Crew Snowboards landed with a skier mom raising her kids in the mountain and military life world meant more than she probably knows. Kathleen speaks to the heart of what this book is about: vibrant illustrations, imaginative characters, & a fun snowboarding day in the mountains.

With original 2.5D artwork created in Canada and a story made for kids ages 0–8, this book is built for:
🏂 Snowboard families
🎿 Ski families
📚 Little ones who dream of the hill before they can even ride it

Two formats, just like our kids:
Board book for the tough little groms.
Paperback for the big-kid bedtime readers.

There are so many reasons to love our snowy little snowboard book 📖 🌨️

It’s mountain-made, inspired by real days on snow and written by a snowboard coach mama raising a tiny rider of her own.

It’s Canadian-designed, rooted in the culture, landscapes, and winter rhythm of the Canadian Rockies.

It features authentic, original, innovative 2.5D artwork that brings the mountains to life in a way kids haven’t seen before.

It’s created for both kids and parents — simple and fun for little readers, meaningful and cozy for storytime read-alouds.

It’s available in two formats (0–3 board book and 3–8 paperback), so it grows with your family.

And most importantly, it celebrates confidence, courage, imagination, and the joy of learning something new — on and off the slopes.

Rok’n Crew Snowboards is for little shredders, future shredders, and families who live outside, dream big, and love winter 💟

Adventure starts with a story. Get yours via the link in bio.

The snowiest storybooks are taking the Rockies by storm... Straight from the Canadian Rockies, Rocky Tales books are innovative, imaginative, and inclusive.

This is why we do it. Some books get read once. Some get requested again… and again.

Hearing that a child wants to read a book again and again is everything to us. That’s the magic we hoped to create when we set out to make a snowy story inspired by life on the slopes, family time, and growing up in the great Canadian outdoors.

Thank you to every family inviting Rok’n Crew Snowboards into your storytime. More mountain tales are on the way 🤍

Rok’n Crew Snowboards children’s book is available in our shop. Give the story that’s moving mountains this winter 📖🌨️🪄
