When writing the Little Lifters series, I used the world that surrounding me for so many years as inspiration. I have been coaching in some capacity for over 20-years.

I’ve coached ice hockey, softball, Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit. I’ve personal trained, taught group classes. l’ve numerous taken certifications and courses to arm me with the knowledge I need to serve my community.

No matter what I was coaching, it all came down to teaching the athlete how to move within their body and within its current capacities.

Little Lifters: Learn Anatomy is my attempt to start teaching proper muscular and skeletal anatomy to kids. Sure Heads, shoulders, knees, and toes has a great tune but Traps, biceps, delts, and quads is just way more educational! 💪

@two_forty_four by @_littlelifters

I was always an active child.

I started walking at 9months.
Vaulted out of crib at 16months.
Learned to skate at age 2.
Learned to ride a 2-wheel bike at age 3.

I’m sure my parents had a tough time slowing me down but I was always encouraged to do my best and told I could do anything I set my mind to. Even though I physically could not get on my bike because I was too short, my dad made me a “Launching pad” (a small wood box that they brought everywhere along with my bike) to allow me to independently get on my two wheeler.

Saying “I can’t” was never in my, or my parent’s, vocabulary. Before I would attempt anything scary, my nerves were pushed aside by chanting “I think I can. I think I can I think I can.” And I did. I have accomplished many feats in my life by simply telling myself that anything is possible if you work hard and give your 100% true best effort.

In writing @_littlelifters, I knew I wanted to pass along this mentality to the next generation. In Little Lifters Learn Self-confidence, I take the reader and their child through an array of affirmations to teach kids and parents alike, there is nothing you can’t achieve if you truly believe in yourself.

I am so proud of this book series and this next adventure in my life. I hope you enjoy reading them as much I enjoyed writing them! by @_littlelifters

Get ready to jump, crawl, climb, and roll—because this engaging book is designed to get bodies in motion and brains buzzing with excitement! Movement is more than just fun—it’s foundational. While grown-ups often hear “stay active,” very few are ever taught how or why we move the way we do. This book dives into the essential movement patterns every child should explore as they grow—helping build strong muscles, sharp coordination, and a body that’s ready for both the playground and the classroom.

Little Lifters: Learn Self-Confidence

The third book in the series takes a turn inward, focusing on the power of positive affirmations. Caitlin wrote this edition to help parents speak strength into their children—out loud and often. Because when a child hears “I am strong,” “I am brave,” and “I am enough,” they start to believe it. And believing it is the first step to becoming it.

Little Lifters: Learn Anatomy

We all learn “head, shoulders, knees, and toes” as toddlers, but real anatomy usually doesn’t show up until high school.

“Learn Anatomy” bridges that gap with whimsical animal friends and simple, accurate explanations of what our muscles are called—and what they help us do. It’s biology made bite-sized and joyful.

This second installment of the Little Lifters series was written to help kids understand there are more working parts to their bodies than what is visible to the naked eye. Have a blast teaching your little bodybuilder the difference between a Quad and a Hamstring!

Little Lifters: Learn the ABCs
The first book in this series was born out of the necessity to give fitness enthusiasts something to read to their Little Lifters at bedtime.

This book offers a playful twist on the traditional alphabet book, designed not only to teach your Little Lifter their letters—but to sneak in a little education for the grown-ups reading along, too. Every page introduces a letter through the lens of strength and movement, sparking curiosity and confidence from A to Z.

Say goodbye to “A is for Apple” and “B is for Banana”, and say hello to “G is for Glycogen” and “H is for Hypertrophy”!
