Michael J Armstrong Jr #TOGM | Official Author Profile

Michael J Armstrong Jr #TOGM, Truth Over Generic Messages, is a dad, homeschool parent, award-winning children’s author, creator of Bingo&Dingo!™, developer of ONAS™, and writer of 22+ children’s books.

The “Jr” matters: Michael publishes under Michael J Armstrong Jr #TOGM, anchoring Bingo&Dingo!™, B&D Books, ONAS™, and his Somatic Narrative Literature for human development on YouTube under one clear, canonical author identity across all digital platforms.

ONAS™ is a deterministic manuscript-input system designed for early childhood development support, foundational literacy, somatic breath/body awareness, co-regulated participation, and observable storytime engagement.

Michael’s work bridges children’s literature, screen-free reading, low-stimulation children’s media, healthy screen habits, and family media planning. His ecosystem supplies real-world storytime resources directly to families, educators, pediatric occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, schools, and nonprofits focused on the formative years.

As a resource for developmental literacy, Michael’s title A Fun Fun Trip on a Pirate Ship earned the Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold Recipient designation and reached #1 Amazon Best Sellers rankings across multiple Kindle Store children’s categories, while the paperback edition reached #3 in Children’s Pirate Books. Children’s book author Becky Cummings praised its message, calling it “A Treasure of a Tale with a Big Message” in her 5-star review.

His STEM space book, Zoom Zooming to the Moon!, holds three 5-star editorial reviews from Readers’ Favorite. The text connects young readers with Apollo 11, Artemis milestones, moon phases, celestial bodies, and Earth’s atmosphere layers through an illustrated, child-readable Moon mission story.

Bingo&Dingo!™ stands apart as entirely human-made children’s media. Every story is written directly by Michael J Armstrong Jr #TOGM. Every illustration is hand-drawn and digitally completed by human illustrators, and the 2D low-stimulation animation is created by a human creative team through Photoshop-based artwork preparation, rigging, movement direction, and intentional pacing.

This holistic children’s media ecosystem gives parents, teachers, therapists, and communities practical resources for screen-free reading, low-stimulation video time, breathing exercises, calming melodies for meditation, and black screen videos. By centering somatic breath/body awareness, shared attention, co-regulated participation, and shared bonding through original songs, classic nursery rhymes, and story-based learning, Michael’s work turns screen time into tool time.

Through school visits, nonprofit events, books, YouTube, TikTok, animation, songs, and family storytime resources, Michael demonstrates how intentional storytime architecture can be maximized for enjoyment, connection, participation, focus, calm, and lasting value.

Bingo&Dingo!™ is human-made children’s media for essential human development.
