Nicholas Aragon writes with heart, humor, and a mission—to help kids discover the joy of reading. His stories are filled with adventure, kindness, and plenty of surprises. Through Curly Crow Books, Nicholas creates stories that kids want to read—and parents and educators love to share.

A Family Legacy, A Literary Journey

Curly Crow was born from love. Nicholas' mother, Barbara Keady, was a passionate educator who believed deeply in the power of books. Even during her battle with brain cancer, she completed two children’s books—determined to pass on her love of reading. After her passing in 2017, Nicholas published her work and continued her mission, turning their shared dream into Curly Crow Books.
