Meet Momo McSquirrel

Momo McSquirrel is Rebecca’s earnest, curious, acorn-loving squirrel friend and co-host of Lamplighter Kids Stories. He approaches ordinary problems with tremendous confidence, squirrel-sized logic, and a strong belief that most situations would improve with an acorn.

Momo helps welcome children into each adventure, asks the questions they may be wondering, and brings warmth and humor back after the story. He also shares short messages, tiny stories, seasonal forest visits, Letters, and the occasional idea that requires a gentle correction.

Meet Rebecca

Hi, I’m Rebecca, the creator, writer, storyteller, character voice, and songwriter behind Lamplighter Kids.

I began Lamplighter Kids with my own three children in mind. I wanted to create the kinds of stories I was searching for as a parent: stories that felt calm rather than overwhelming, beautiful rather than hurried, and meaningful without becoming a lecture.

That hope became Lamplighter Kids Stories, an ad-free children’s story podcast filled with imaginative worlds, funny characters, original songs, timeless virtues, and simple questions families can talk about together.

I write and perform the stories alongside my squirrel friend, Momo McSquirrel. I carry the story and reflection. Momo brings curiosity, friendship, acorns, and the occasional squirrel-sized misunderstanding.

My hope is that Lamplighter gives children something warm and beautiful to return to, and gives grown-ups a story world they can welcome into car rides, quiet afternoons, bedtime wind-downs, and family conversations with confidence.

Thank you for listening and for helping these stories continue.


With love,
Rebecca
