Christmas Bookstore Feature: THE YOWLERS By: Stacy Lynn Carroll

Updated: Nov 26

A fuming family of five doesn’t know how to turn their frowns upside down! The Yowlers are so used to being grouchy—they’re baffled when their new neighbors treat them kindly. This delightful new children’s book by Stacy Lynn Carroll offers a monstrously fun read-aloud with valuable life lessons for all ages.  


Meet Stacy at Patella Publishing Services’ Pop-up Bookstore during the Christmas Gift and Craft Show in Spanish Fork, Utah November 29 - 30 from 9 am - 7 pm. Stacy will be signing copies of The Yowlers and many of her other titles on Friday from 2:30-7:00 pm!




The Yowlers Book Synopsis:


The Yowler family is always in a monstrously bad mood: Papa grumbles, Mama yells, Sara and Sonya bicker, and the baby fusses day and night. They’re so used to being grumpy that when their new neighbors smile at them, the Yowlers are puzzled and are immediately suspicious. And when the new kids ask Sara and Sonya to play? Well, that’s just plain odd. Then again, it does feel good to be treated kindly . . . and all of a sudden the sisters start acting nicer themselves, causing Mama and Papa to wonder if they’re coming down with something. But as it turns out, even the smallest acts of kindness can be powerful. The weather may have been stormy— but there is friendliness is in the forecast!


Universal Themes:


  • Kindness

  • Living by The Golden Rule

  • Power of Positivity


Who will enjoy this book:


This makes a great read-aloud for parents, grandparents, and teachers. Kids ages 3-8  will love it!


Praise for The Yowlers


“Stacy Lynn Carroll has written a delightful book that teaches the importance of kindness without being preachy. Perfectly brought to life with terrific illustrations by Molly Ruttan, the Yowlers is fun, funny, and vastly entertaining. I recommend it for the entire family.”
