How Curly Crow Began
Every great adventure starts with one simple idea.
Curly Crow was created by children's author Nicholas Aragon with one mission:
Help children discover the joy of reading.
Inspired by family adventures, New Mexico, and a lifelong love of storytelling, Curly Crow was created to encourage children to build confidence through books while exploring the amazing world around them.
Every Curly Crow story combines colorful illustrations, memorable characters, humor, and meaningful life lessons that families can enjoy together.
Today, Curly Crow's adventures have grown to include activity books, bilingual editions, classroom resources, school author visits, and literacy programs that inspire children to become lifelong readers.

Adventures Across New Mexico
Curly Crow is proud to call New Mexico home.
