Kyla Saphir (Kai-lah Suh-feer) is a mother, yoga instructor, early childhood educator, and the author of the new children’s books On Brighter Days and I Love Nature School. She lives in Milwaukee, WI. with her husband, daughter, and their dog, Nia.

​

Kyla attended Scripps College in Claremont CA and received her BA in Anthropology. She taught early childhood education (ECE) in various cities and countries before receiving her Masters Degree in ECE with her ESL certificate and Pre-K thru 3rd grade teaching certification. She currently teaches Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga to expecting and new moms.

​

The inspiration for the book, On Brighter Days, came from Kyla's personal experience with secondary infertility. She is the youngest of five children in her family and wanted her daughter to have siblings as well but it wasn't possible. When she looked for books for her daughter to read about their experience, the bookshelves were empty.  Kyla is passionate about high quality children's literature and so she and her daughter decided to write their own book addressing these feelings for other parents and only children.

​

The inspiration for I Love Nature School comes from her experience teaching at various nature preschools around the US. When looking for books about the first day of nature preschool, there were none to read to her students. Every book focused on indoor preschools and didn’t show the magic of learning outdoors. She decided to create a colorful story to introduce little ones, their parents, and teachers to the wonders of nature school.

​

When not busy writing, Kyla loves to explore with her daughter, practice yoga, run with her pup, and travel the world with her family.
