Whisper and Ember is a space for stories that glow with meaning and spark the imagination. Here you’ll find original poems, illustrated tales, and thoughtful reflections created to inspire young readers—and those who guide them. We believe that not everyone sees the world the same way, and that’s something to celebrate. Some imagine with pictures, others with feelings, sound, or silence. Through gentle storytelling and lyrical language, we explore wonder, friendship, and the magic of seeing differently.
Created by author and storyteller Kathy Deem, Whisper and Ember blends warmth with whimsy—offering books, characters, and content that speak to both heart and mind. Whether you’re here for a story time escape, a quiet moment of reflection, or a creative spark to share with your child or classroom, you’re welcome here.
Follow along as new stories unfold, characters come to life, and poems light the path forward—one quiet ember at a time.
