Jim Munroe’s journey to writing children’s books began 25 years ago when his daughter had trouble learning to read. He had already written hundreds of poems in rhyme and knew that it was a fun way to form new words out of just one simple word. His first story, The Sneezing Toucan, was published in 2021 and it received a 5 Star review from Readers’ Favorite and has been featured on the popular worldwide podcast, www.sleeptightstories.org. Jim has appeared at numerous Meet the Author events at schools and libraries and his book has been added to the Wake County Public Library System in Raleigh, NC. Jim is a United States Navy Submarine Service veteran and a member of the Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). When he’s not writing children’s books, Jim enjoys playing in a pool league, DIY home repairs, gardening and landscaping.
