Join Fynn's fun-filled journeys through imagination!

Cary Hauth is a seasoned elementary school teacher, children’s book author, proud parent, and occasional professional “rug rat” wrangler—courtesy of a family that keeps him on his toes and inspired, especially the grandson behind Big Binford, Little Fynn. His children and students have delivered more laugh-out-loud material than a blooper reel, and it’s those spontaneous giggles—alongside backyard safaris, woodland wanderings, puppet-show shenanigans, and classroom capers—that spark the picture-book ideas he brings to life with playful rhythms, heartfelt moments, and vibrant illustrations.
He’s taught in some pretty fascinating places—Bosnia, Yemen, China, and Kazakhstan—collecting not just passport stamps but also midnight layovers in noisy terminals and wildly mistranslated menus. Each adventure popped his worldview open like a colorful atlas, inspiring picture books that ignite boundless imagination and sneak in little sparks of nostalgia, sending grown-up readers straight back to their own scraped-knee adventures, flashlight forts, and secret hideouts—those exact moments that make parents and teachers smile in recognition.
With a knack for turning literacy lessons into fun-filled journeys, Cary writes picture books that feel at home in cozy living rooms and busy classrooms—sparking thoughtful conversations, igniting creativity, and shining in those special “tuck me in and read to me before bedtime” moments.
Now based in Fargo, ND, with his wife, Cary continues to craft tales that celebrate the magic, wonder, and downright silliness of childhood—because who says learning can’t be a little bit fun?
