About the author.

I am the father of four Princesses and a Superhero. Raising these five beautiful, smart, independent children has inspired and challenged me to use creative and original ideas to teach them important life lessons. The Flip and Friends series are stories I originally created to educate my own children in a fun and relatable way. As an early writer of poetry, the transition to children’s books was a natural progression of life as parenthood is its own form of poetry.

I am very excited to finally take these stories that had such a huge impact on my own children’s lives and share them with the world.

The Flip and Friends book series is dedicated to the memory of my dear brother, Philip (Flip) Stern whom was taken from this world way too early. Phil was hard working, loved the outdoors, and was constantly making everyone laugh.

Miss you brother.

"The story of Flip and his trek to purchase patience, is a story that children of all ages and in all countries deal with daily. So often, it is not material items that we strive to attain for our children, but the deep social understandings of our world. This impactful social story allows children to visualize the reward received for obtaining the characteristic of patience, and the value it has toward the upbringing of our children. Ben so masterfully created a tale in which this important lesson can be visualized and understood by all children. "
