Special Story Time with Melissa Coffey

Fabled is thrilled to welcome children's author Melissa Coffey to discuss her new picture book, One Spark! She will be joining us for a special story time and signing on Thursday, October 13th at 10:30AM!

About the Book:

A beautiful reminder that one small spark inside a child can light the whole world.

Inside every child lives a spark.

It may begin as a quiet flicker, yet it holds something powerful: imagination, kindness, courage, and the ability to make the world brighter. In One Spark, lyrical language and gentle rhythms guide readers through the discovery of that inner light. Along the way, children learn that the spark within them grows through curiosity, compassion, and connection with others. Thoughtful, soothing, and visually rich, this inspiring picture book offers families a meaningful way to talk about emotions, self-belief, and the ways small acts of care ripple outward into the world. A heartfelt gift for children, parents, teachers, and anyone who believes a little light can go a long way.

About the Author:

Melissa Coffey is the award-winning author of FRIDGE-OPOLIS (2022). She grew up in Wisconsin toting around an overstuffed book bag and a dog-eared spiral notebook of poetry and stories. Unsurprisingly, her first job was at the public library. After earning a journalism degree from UW-Madison, she moved to Atlanta and called CNN Center home. Melissa was a freelance writer for Fortune 500 companies, CEOs, and magazines before pursuing her passion as a children’s author. She now lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and two teenagers—who thankfully inherited her book-loving genes.
