Creating Houts & Home Publications LLC in 2011 fulfilled a lifelong dream for Amy Houts. After authoring four cookbooks and over 60 children’s books, she decided it was time to start her own publishing company. 

EARY LEARNING BOARD GAMES

"I wanted you to know that three girls from my Sunday school class enjoyed  playing your 'Find my Heart' game!  I loved watching them demonstrate collaborative strategies on how to retrieve the lost valentines! Thanks again for your wonderful creation!  I know we will play again."
--Julie Ferguson, Maryville, Missouri

Our board games encourage cooperation and foster friendships because all players work together to win at the same time. Our "Cooperative Board Games" teach early learning skills such as critical thinking, counting, color recognition, fine motor control, and most importantly, help prevent bullying. Find My Heart: A Valentine Game is just one of five seasonal/holiday cooperative games available from Houts & Home. Click here to see more. 
​For ages 3+.

INSPIRING POETRY

My New York: City Poems
Born in Brooklyn in the 1930s and now living in Manhattan, Betty Farber uses warmth and humor in writing poems that are love letters to New York City. Whether about a "Butterfly in the City," or "Everyday Bravery," or "Bagels and Romance," these poems voice a personal point-of-view of life in New York. 

Available here, or from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. 
Houts & Home will not sell or share your information with anyone else.
