Hello! Let me introduce myself. My name is Amy Houts.
• I'm an award-winning author of 100+ picture books written in both prose and rhyme.​

• My books range from science-based nonfiction, ​Think Like a Scientist (Pearson), to faith-based fiction, God's Protection Covers Me (Beaming Books), to licensed  character workbooks, Dora the Explorer Safety (Learning Horizons), to over 60 retellings of fairy tales, folk tales, and fables, to cookbooks and cooperative games.

• Working as a children’s librarian and preschool teacher helped inform my writing. I was inspired to write for children when I was a graduate assistant in the early childhood department at Northwest Missouri State University.

New Arrival!
God's Earth is Something to Fight For

By Amy Houts, illustrations by Kris Smolskaya
"This book is a gift not just to the kids who will hear it but to the adults who will read it to them.
  • It is honest about the challenges we face without being scary
  • It is biblical about our call to action without being preachy
  • It is practical about how to respond without being prescriptive
Everyone who encounters this book will be empowered to find the joy of serving and protecting our neighbors and God's good creation!"
Rev. Kyle Meyaard-Schaap
VP Evangelical Environmental Network 
Following Jesus in a Warming World

“A book, too, can be a star, explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly,
a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.”
– Madeleine L’Engle
