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!
