The Author

Alexsandra Pumphrey - Children's Author

Hello! I'm Alexsandra Pumphrey, a passionate children's book author dedicated to creating magical stories for Pre-K through 2nd grade readers. My writing journey is deeply inspired by the memory of my mother, who always encouraged me to dream big and reach for the stars.

Through Pumphrey House Media, I not only share my own creations like "Rawr Rawr Dinosaur: It's Time To Go To Bed" but also continue to honor my mother's legacy by sharing her beloved "Merle the Traveling Girl" series. Each story is crafted with love to spark imagination and foster a lifelong love of reading in young minds.

My mother's belief in the power of storytelling continues to guide my work as I visit schools, libraries, and communities, bringing characters to life and creating unforgettable reading experiences that connect children with the joy of books.

"In loving memory of my mother, whose encouragement to dream big continues to inspire every story I write and every child I meet."

Why I Started Pumphrey House Media

A story of love, legacy, and bringing dreams to life

Honoring My Mother's Legacy

Pumphrey House Media was founded in honor of my mother, who believed in the magic of storytelling. She always encouraged me to dream boldly and create freely. Her love for books and children's stories inspired me to carry her legacy forward and build something meaningful in her name.

Continuing Merle the Traveling Girl

Before her passing, my mother published her original children's book, Merle the Traveling Girl. Through Pumphrey House Media, I'm able to expand on that beautiful beginning—continuing Merle's journey while also writing new stories that reflect my voice and heart, all in tribute to her.

Inspiring Young Readers

At the heart of this company is a mission to inspire children through joyful, imaginative storytelling. I believe every child deserves access to books that spark curiosity, nurture confidence, and make them feel seen. My goal is to create stories that leave a lasting mark—one reader, one dreamer, one page at a time.
