Guiding your child toward a path where they can truly thrive is both meaningful and challenging. My goal is to create literature that nurtures their imagination because when imagination grows, so does their ability to understand, connect with, and embrace the lessons we hope to teach them.


Mevlana Starling

 Mevlana Starling writes playful, high-energy children’s stories that turn everyday habits into imaginative adventures. Her stories blend humor, repetition, and big personality to help young readers laugh, learn, and see familiar experiences in a brand-new way.

She believes stories should move, sometimes loudly, and that even the silliest ideas can carry an important lesson.

The Human Car (working title)

Dean loves cars. Race cars. Police cars. Monster trucks. He can zoom, beep, and vroom for hours.

But when it comes to vegetables? That’s a different story.

In this playful and imaginative picture book, Dean learns what happens when his body doesn’t get the right “fuel.” Through humor and big personality, The Human Car turns picky eating into a high-energy adventure that helps young readers understand how food helps them grow, move, and thrive.
