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.
