Where Facts
Meet
Fun
We’re a small, independent publishing company founded by creators who love blending storytelling, design, and learning.
At Discovery Rhymes, we believe children learn best when learning feels like play. That’s why every book we make combines real-world knowledge with storytelling, rhyme, and joy. We call it edutainment—not as a buzzword, but as a strategy.
Our approach goes beyond fun rhymes and cute characters. Through poetic rhythm, visual storytelling, and well-researched facts, we craft joyful learning moments that are emotionally engaging, educationally sound, and developmentally smart.
Behind the Books
Our founding trio has known one another for more than 12 years—first as teacher and students, then as a creative marketing team, and now as children’s book publishers.
Mike Gold, Author
Former advertising executive and university instructor, now writing playful, fact-filled rhymes for children. Inspired by his father’s love of verse and by reading to his grandkids—who call him “Pompah”—Mike weaves humor, heart, and discovery into every story.
Erin Syme, Creative
Creative director and designer driven by endless curiosity and a love of making things. Erin transforms ideas into playful, colorful visuals that turn learning—and everything else—into fun.
Norrie Syme, Production
Norrie guides each Discovery Rhymes book from idea to finished adventure. He keeps the creative flow steady, the team in sync, and every step organized so the rhymes, facts, and illustrations come together seamlessly—and reach the kids and families who’ll love them.
Our Mission
To bring “edutainment” to young readers: delivering engaging, rhyming stories filled with real-world facts and fun surprises.
Our Values
Curiosity, delight, growth, connection, craft, and independence guide everything we make—fun-led, thoughtfully made stories that invite wonder, deepen over time, and bring children and adults together through purposeful fun.
