Kathryn the Grape is here to help!

Hello and welcome! My name is Kathryn Cloward, otherwise known as “Kathryn the Grape.” My son was only two years old when I started down this path of simplifying life lessons learned while growing through life’s changes. Landon is 12 now and he’s grown up learning with me. We’ve learned and grown together. My hope is to help you and your loves learn and grow together, too.

I invite you to find out more about how Kathryn the Grape’s heart-centered mindful media helps children feel good about themselves and others. Many parents, teachers, and caregivers are desiring to have more youth-focused resources for positive and empowered social emotional self-development. That is what Kathryn the Grape provides through engaging age-appropriate books and songs that grow as children grow.

I am a parent. I get it. Kathryn the Grape is here to help.
