Stories built on adventure,
not lectures.
Noah D. Carver is the children's fiction pen name of Swift Current, SK author Keith M. Leonard. Writing as Noah, Keith creates adventure-driven stories for young readers set in the world of Tidehaven: a sun-warmed coastal kingdom full of curious crabs, mermaids, castle kitchens, and kids who surprise themselves with what they're capable of.
The Tales of Tidehaven series currently spans two illustrated books, The Secret of Sparkles' Cove and Pip and the Crab Crown, with more on the way. Both are published through Under the Bridge Publishing (a division of Under the Bridge Creative), available on Amazon and as signed editions direct from the author.
Noah's approach to children's fiction is deliberately non-preachy. Themes of courage, kindness, and self-worth find their way into every story through the adventure itself, never paused for a lesson. Kids deserve stories that trust them.
Keith is available for author visits (in-person and virtual), podcast appearances, media interviews, and school or library programming. He welcomes inquiries from educators, librarians, journalists, and parents alike.
