Kyla Saphir is a mother, yoga instructor, early childhood educator, and now the author of the new children’s books On Brighter Days and I Love Nature School. She lives in Milwaukee, WI. with her husband, daughter, and their wild dog, Nia.

The inspiration for the book, On Brighter Days, came from Kyla's personal experience with secondary infertility. Kyla is the youngest of five children and wanted her daughter to have siblings as well but was not able to make that happen. When she looked for books for her daughter to read about their experience, the bookshelves were empty. 

​

Kyla decided to write I Love Nature School after her experiences teaching at various nature preschools around the US. When looking for books about the first day of nature preschool, there were none to read to her students.

​

Kyla is passionate about high quality children's literature to expose children to new ideas. She and her daughter co-authored the book On Brighter Days for other parents and only children. She couldn't find books to read to her Nature preschoolers about their first days of school, so she wrote her own!​

​

When not busy writing and hanging with her family, Kyla loves to read, practice yoga, walk with Nia, and travel the world.
