Critic Review
Robin Hamilton Bonk is the creator of Hearthwise Tales, a growing series of children’s books that celebrate the magic of home, family, and everyday moments.
A proud grandmother, U.S. Army veteran, and retired sheriff’s deputy, Robin brings a lifetime of service, adventure, and storytelling to the page.
Her stories are inspired by real-life experiences—from cross-country travels to the backyard adventures of her grandchildren. Now semi-retired, she devotes her time to writing, volunteering, and sharing heartfelt stories that connect generations.
Her debut book, Ender the Chicken Tender, is available now.
Ender and ChickaLetta do everything together—egg hunts, puddle jumping, and chicken chats! But when it’s time for Ender to start school, their world flaps with change. Can a brave Chicken Tender become a brave kindergartener? Can best friends stay close even when they’re apart?
This funny, feathery tale is packed with heart, helping little readers face big changes with courage, imagination, and a whole lot of cluckin’ fun!
It always starts with a tiny moment—a giggle, a question, or a memory that lights up my imagination.
I pay close attention to everyday adventures, especially through a child’s eyes—they see magic in the smallest things!
If a moment makes me smile or cry, I know it belongs in the story I’m writing.
With love, laughs, and lessons, I turn real-life wonder into tales that comfort, excite, and help little hearts grow.
Robin H. Bonk writes heartwarming tales — like Ender the Chicken Tender — blending adventure, life lessons, and Idaho’s wild spirit for kids!
