If you’ve never made it to a Mike the Friendly Firefighter book reading before...you’ll know why kids are smiling BIG from beginning to end, just like Firefighter Mike. 😇From after-school programs to virtual classroom visits, to small and corporate businesses—children love a good storytime. Here’s a quick look inside our stop at the Police Athletic League on the Eastside of Jacksonville :). Thanks to @jaxcontinentals for sponsoring 📚 P.S. Don’t forget to join us for Books and Barbecue at Bono’s @bonospitbbq on July 12! (Limited space only).

✨Happy Magic Shoes Monday!✨ I’m reflecting on everything I’m grateful for a lot more these days and while I spend a lot of time working my butt off, breaks and rest are always needed. Sometimes you have to take those shoes off and find a moment to reset and relax. So, this week join me by taking off your magic shoes for a moment and rest. Grab a good book to read 📚 #mikethefriendlyfirefighter #authorsofinstagram #mikefreeland #firehero #ourhero #awardwinning #bookstagram #firefightermike #beachday #rest #relax #reset #mikesmagicshoes #magicshoemonday #california #malibubeach
📚☀️ Did you know? Kids can lose up to 2–3 months of reading skills over summer break — this is called the “summer slide.” But attending literacy events and making reading fun can help them stay sharp and beat the slide! It’s one of the reasons I created the #mtffsummerliteracybooktour to partner with local businesses to empower children to read during the summer. Don’t forget to come out to Books and Barbecue @bonospitbbq next month and help keep those literacy sparks flying all summer long! The first 30 children get a copy of #mikethefriendlyfirefighter #thewildcarfire and hang out with some amazing firefighters! 🚒 #mikefreeland #ourhero #firefighter #firstresponders #literacy #summerliteracy #reading #childrensbookauthor #authorsofinstagram #awardwinning #booksbooksbooks #education #firefightermike #jaxevents #jfrd 📚

🔥 As we gear up for some cool things happening this summer…or shall I say “heating up” again this summer 😆 we’re are recapping the month of May for Mike the Friendly Firefighter 👨🏾‍🚒! Let’s start with our visit to a couple of LA fire stations for #fireserviceday 🚒. I met the most amazing crews and families ❤️. A special thanks to @lafdfirestation102 and @lafdstation88 for being so supportive! @losangelesfiredepartment #mikethefriendlyfirefighter #authorsofinstagram #mikefreeland #firehero #ourhero #awardwinning #bookstagram #firefighters #firefightermike #mikemyheartforever #protectandserve #honorthefallen #jfrd #firefighter_brotherhood

🔥 HAPPY MAGIC SHOES MONDAY! My goodness #magicshoesmonday has been flying by these past few months! I’m still feeling all the feels from the love shown by the @losangelesfiredepartment @lafdfirestation102 and @lafdstation88 for #fireservice#day over the weekend! It was amazing!! Many thanks to those awesome crews for all that they do daily to protect and serve 👨🏾‍🚒 🚒. Mike’s story will forever be told wherever I go 🖊️ Stay tuned for the video, but I just wanted to say hello from #losangeles in my favorite #mikesmagicshoes #mikethefriendlyfirefighter #firefighters #firstresponders #protectandserve #authorsofinstagram #mikefreeland #mikeslegacy #childrensbookstagram
PAINT WITH ME 👩🏾‍🎨One thing I LOVE about being an author is that it brings out my creativity and I get to design my own clothes! I probably would’ve been a #fashiondesigner in another life 😜, but now #mikethefriendlyfirefighter allows me to bring out that side of me. MOMENT OF VULNERABILITY: It was #mikefreeland birthday when I was doing this, my mood was rather somber— but this moment with my nephew yelling in the background (you hear his sound track in the video 😅) allowed me to literally paint a different picture for the day 🎨, many thanks to my sis-in-law who designs my clothes @mydesirecreations! I think a #departmentstore should give us a shot-don’t yall?!
