About the Author
Amy Love
Amy Love is a storyteller, educator, and doctoral researcher who believes every child deserves a friend in music.
A former theatre director and actor, Amy found her way to early childhood education through the same conviction that drove her to the stage that stories change people, and that the earlier a child feels that magic, the better.
She is the co-founder of Little Strings of North Florida, a specialist-delivered string music program operating across multiple Jacksonville-area schools, and the Director of Little Friends Preschool.
Her doctoral research at Florida Southern College explores how string instrument education supports executive function development in early childhood which is a scientific way of saying she studies what musicians have always known: that music makes young minds grow.
The Chuckle Music Series was born from her children. Carson showed her that letters could look like marching ants and that a child who sees the world differently might need a different kind of story. Henry showed her that the quiet middle voice is often the one holding everything together.
Amy firmly believes that every person is an artist until they choose not to be. She lives in Jacksonville, Florida, and she is still holding tight to her crayons.
The Chuckle Music Books are published by Love Anyway Publishing.
