About the Author
Meridith Taylor Strout
"I want to encourage children to include others.
Including others, brings joy to you - and to them. "
- Meredith Strout
Hello!

I'm Meridith.
"My name is Meridith Strout and I write children’s books that encourage hands-on learning through music, promote a love for reading and teach children the importance of including others. Dive into a world of musical fun as you make new friends along the way."
​
I wanted to write a book that teaches children the importance of including others but also wanted to incorporate a hands-on, multi-sensory component.
The book comes to life as the children can play, listen, and feel the sounds of the instruments that are introduced in the book.
​
This book was written to provide parents and educators an opportunity to have a fun interactive experience with their children and encourage a love for books and reading. This book will teach children as well as the reader the importance of including others and how making new friends can be fun.

This book is a multi-sensory book designed for young readers. It teaches students the importance of including others in an educational yet fun hands on learning experience.
The books can be purchased separately or with the musical instrument kit. The kit includes 5 different percussion instruments that the students can use as they are reading the book.
​
The More the Merrier is a book that teaches children how they can enjoy music, include others in the fun and make new friends along the way. The message will literally be music to your ears!
