Welcome to the world of Haylee D. Cole: where the coffee is strong, the chaos is real, and the stories are anything but boring.
Haylee D. Cole never meant to become a children’s book author—it just kind of happened somewhere between late-night charting, wiping mystery goo off small humans (her own), and big ones (her patients).
Haylee writes heartfelt, humor-filled children’s books that celebrate perseverance, friendship, and the joy of being unapologetically yourself.
Her debut title, One Coin, One Pig, and a Whole Lot of NO!, captured young readers with its rhythmic storytelling, laugh-out-loud moments, and a pig with major attitude. Her follow-up, One Witch, One Basket, and a Whole Lot of Letters!, continues that legacy—blending spooky whimsy with an empowering message about being accepted exactly as you are.
When she’s not writing, Haylee balances family life with her ongoing work as a nurse—bringing compassion to both her patients and her pages. Her stories are crafted for kids but carry lessons for everyone: don’t give up, be kind, and remember—you’re enough just as you are.
Haylee D. Cole is a nurse by night, a mom around the clock, and—a children’s book author by surprise! When she’s not chasing toddlers or charting vitals, she’s chasing giggles and silly story ideas. Haylee believes in bedtime stories with belly laughs,pigs with serious attitudes and characters with big feelings. One Witch, one Basket,and a Whole Lot of Letters! is her second book —a whimsical tale about friendship, bravery, and a skeleton girl who learns she never had to change to be loved.

One witch, one basket and a Whole Lot of Letters.
All the little skeleton girl wanted was to be less scary—just enough to make a friend. But when a kind witch sends her on a mysterious quest with a basket she must not peek inside, she meets seven Halloween characters who each add something special… and tempt her to break the rules.
What she doesn’t know? She’s delivering the pieces of a party—...
One Coin, One Pig, and a Whole Lot of NO!
There once was a cheerful little man with a straw hat and a goofy smile, sweeping his little stable when — oh! What’s that? A big shiny gold coin!
He buys a big, fat, round pig… but the pig won’t walk. So begins a silly, growing chain of “NOs” — from a dog, a stick, a fire, water, a cow — and even a butcher!
This hilarious cumulative tale...
