📖Author Spotlight: Chart-Topping and Child-Inspired - Kara Floyd's Bold Entrance into Children's Literature

At FLOCO Media, creative excellence isn’t just encouraged—it’s lived. And few embody that mission more fully than our very own Kara Floyd, children’s author, educator, and Chief Operating Officer of the company.

Kara Floyd burst onto the literary scene in 2024 with her bestselling debut, Can I Be a Pirate?—a wildly imaginative, claymation-style picture book that dared to ask big questions through the eyes of a curious child. Co-authored with her husband and FLOCO CEO Monty Floyd, the book struck a chord with parents and kids alike, soaring to #1 on Amazon’s Children’s Book list, where it dominated for three straight weeks before a category adjustment by Vulpine Publishing shifted its ranking.

Even so, Can I Be a Pirate? remains a Top 10 bestseller—now in Amazon’s Children & Sociology category—where it continues to make waves with its wit, charm, and unapologetic message.

The success of Can I Be a Pirate? is no fluke. Kara’s background as a homeschool educator of four, combined with her academic training in sociology and an MBA in Human Resources Administration, gives her a rare and powerful lens into the minds of young readers—and the families guiding them. Her stories are infused with purpose, grounded in values, and unafraid to tackle the modern challenges children face in today’s world.

In addition to writing, Kara teaches creative writing at a private academy, where she helps students unlock their storytelling potential while also staying deeply connected to the needs and thoughts of the next generation.

With three children’s books already published and more in the works, Kara Floyd is building not just a bibliography—but a legacy.

Whether she’s guiding the operations of a fast-growing media company, teaching in a classroom, or penning the next big idea in children's literature, Kara’s passion is clear: helping children think boldly, speak clearly, and imagine endlessly.
