Spencer's writing is rhythmic and whimsical, engaging young readers with light-hearted language and rhyme. Each poem maintains a lively pace, ensuring the narrative flows smoothly.

While Spencer has a history of selling her artwork internationally, she found her true passion in creating children's books. "Roglins" marks the culmination of her artistic journey, showcasing her talent for storytelling and world-building.

The vast variety of characters in your story mean readers will fall in love with at least one of your Roglins. Do you find yourself connecting with one in particular?

I think each one has a part of me. And in my rhymes, it is all about happy endings.

In Hidden Treasure, for example the story is all about exploration. There are times in life when we need to leave everything behind to start a new chapter. If we don’t take that step, we risk staying stuck in the same place. So, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone —sometimes, taking a different path can lead to incredible opportunities.

In Longing, the story focuses on helping others and making a meaningful change in someone's life. In this example, the narrator builds a glider to help a little Roglin soar and experience flight. Once again, the theme centers on a heartwarming, happy ending.

Some of the poems are all about fun, like Wasp Whisperer, Creepy Crawlies, and Roglin the Knight. These poems are filled with amusing characters, offering a delightful escape into a world of imagination and joy.
