MAGGIE KEEFE
Children's Author
Maggie Keefe is a former computer geek who gave up writing code and took up writing fun, quirky children's books, fulfilling a lifelong dream.

A kid at heart with a passion for children's literature, she may be getting a late start but is glad to have the opportunity to do what she loves. Hopefully, you will love reading her silly stories as much as she loved writing them.

ONE LITTLE VOICE
July 2022 AVAILABLE NOW
A collection of poems that are funny and fun to read.
What happens when a restaurant owner refuses to serve a clown because of his crazy red hair and floppy clown shoes?
“No Clowns Allowed” shows the importance of speaking up and how one little voice can make a big difference. Other poems in the collection contain lovable characters like the little guy who works hard and becomes a basketball star, the girl who only wants to wear polka dots, one that is tempted by a cupcake, and one that takes ice cream eating to a whole new level. Her ice cream-eating skills are giving me the chills! Join in the fun and do a silly dance when your reading time is done!
Maggie Keefe resides in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, where you learn to make your own fun. She enjoys swimming with frogs, stargazing, dancing like no one’s looking, eating maple creamies, and writing silly poems. Maggie released her first book of silly poems earlier this year and had so much fun she decided to do it again. She is a firm believer that our world can use a little more silliness, and is on a mission to provide it.
Storyteller at Heart
A retired software engineer trying to exercise the other side of her brain to ward off cognitive decline.
A pandemic poet with too much time on her hands and a bad case of the isolation
blues.
A Senior spending the long, long frigid winter in the frozen northeast kingdom of
Vermont.
An aspiring rap singer attempting to make
rap music passé.
A budget-conscious senior citizen on a
fixed income looking for inexpensive, meaningful gifts that are easy to wrap.
The recent recipient of an artificial hip and although her orthopedic surgeon claims her arthritis is due to old age, she believes it was caused by overzealous gyrations on the Zumba floor.
A kid at heart with a passion for children’s literature, and although I am getting a late start, I feel like I am finally
pursuing my dream.
All of the above, or maybe most of the above but definitely some of the above.

I LOVE TO READ
I am a local author from Danville, Vermont, spending winters in beautiful Sarasota, Florida, living the dream. I would love to share my silly poems with children in the area. Please let me know if you would like me to read from my books 'Day Dreaming' and 'One Little Voice'; the poetry is mainly suited for 6 -12-year-olds but can be enjoyed by children of all ages. I am also working on a book of silly poems for seniors and will be reading to local seniors, hoping to encourage creativity and a sense of purpose in our seniors. There is also a chapter book in me just waiting to bust out – look for 'I'm Trouble' coming soon!
