Happiest of Birthdays to the little girl who grew Happiest of Birthdays to the little girl who grew up and followed her heart's desires. 

I wonder if little me dreamt of this family, this life, this city. I know she is proud of the woman I have become. Somewhere deep down inside, she is smiling and with me on this journey.

I know she would have loved to read one of my books. Little Tennille loved chicken nuggets too! #chickennuggetfarm #rydersride 

Happy Birthday to me! #birthdaygirl

For parents and children, I hope that during all the back-to-school supply shopping, we might save some room for our favorite books and reading. Maybe we even carry a few journals and pencils. 

I hope to continue this path of sharing and inspiration from my world. Reading begets writing.

It is back-to-school season. Shopping is underway It is back-to-school season. 
Shopping is underway. 

When I'm filling my cart, I can't help but travel back in time and think of my favorite school supplies.

Trapper Keepers
Smelly markers and GOOD crayons
Those fancy calculators?

Some things have changed. 

Fidget toys and fancy water bottles let me know that self-care and support are important to these little ones and their teachers. 

So for all of us parents, kids, and educators, I wish you a healthy back-to-school season. Stay hydrated!

Grab a few of my books for storytime 📚📖

Where did the summer go? 🌞🌻
I'm curious about how folks spent their time. 

Did you relax or work too hard? 
Did you spend time in nature?
Did you travel?
And are you ready for back-to-school shopping?

We are setting some new goals and coming down from summer inspiration. We hope you all start the school year strong and end the year with success. 

For me, I want - 
More book sales!
More storytelling opportunities! 
. . . And maybe time to write some more stories. Maybe I'll buy some new journals while I'm back-to-school shopping!

Take a look at the website and see the new splashes to get in touch!

Something about me . . . I'm not from here. I tran Something about me . . . I'm not from here. I transplanted later in life, and I can say that I truly love Atlanta and life in this city!

This is a great place to raise my family, and there is lots to do. I enjoy "me dates" to local cafes and bookstores, festivals with my boys, and the airport to travel even farther! 

As a mom, I'm always looking for fun grocery options and snacks the family will enjoy. We have so many options! 

I hope you enjoy these inspired illustrations from my books. More on my website. #linkinbio #RydersRide #atlantakids

Join us for our inaugural children's storybook hour!

Starting at 11am sharp, local author Tennille Bell will read from her children's picture books.
"Ryder's Ride to the Grocery Store" follows Ryder, an expressive, four-year-old boy who loves going grocery shopping with his mom. He likes the many creative ways his mom prepares his favorite foods, but his mom also has some items on the grocery list that may not be to his liking, and he is reluctant to try a funny looking vegetable. His mom promises to be creative in preparing the vegetable in hopes he will like it - but will this funny looking vegetable become his new favorite food?
"At the Chicken Nugget Farm" is a story about a little boy named Otto who wants to know; where do chicken nuggets come from? A question young Otto has for his parents one afternoon on the way to the Christmas Festival. When they're not sure what to tell him, he falls asleep in the car and has the best dream ever, answering that very important question!

She will also be available to sign her books upon request. Come on by for a great time!
Happiest of mornings to you and yours! Happy East Happiest of mornings to you and yours! 
Happy Easter to those who celebrate!
