About Us

Homophones are words that sound the same when pronounced but have different meanings, spellings, or both. They can create playful wordplay and add depth to poetry, writing, or storytelling. Homophones add layers of meaning and can make your writing more engaging and clever, especially in rhymes, puns, or poetry. For example, writing “The principal’s principles” uses the homophones principal (school leader) and principle (a rule or belief) to create a meaningful connection while keeping the sound consistent. It’s such a unique and meaningful project – using homophones and rhymes to teach life lessons!

About the Author

Meredith Davison, Jr.’s parents and grandparents instilled many life principles to him and his two siblings throughout their childhood. These, and others from his wife Denise, were passed down to their six children, all of whom were homeschooled. The idea for this book was to put these principles down in written form, using rhyme and homophones as a fun way to teach them to children, while helping grow their vocabulary. Meredith and Denise enjoy traveling and spending time with their children and thirteen grandchildren.

Today, I’m filled with deep gratitude and joy as I share that The Principal’s Principles has been awarded the Purple Dragonfly Book Award!

As a lifelong educator, my heart has always been in helping children grow not just in what they know, but in who they become. This book was born from decades in classrooms and hallways,
conversations with students, and lessons that extend far beyond textbooks.

It means the world to have this story recognized for what it’s meant to be: a guide for raising kind, respectful, and thoughtful young people through rhymes, values, and meaningful moments shared between adults and children.

To every parent, teacher, librarian, and little learner who’s picked up this book thank you. This award is a beautiful reminder that
character still matters, and that simple principles can make a lasting difference.

Here’s to growing hearts and minds.♡

With gratitude,
Meredith Davison
