Writing stories that encourage kids everywhere to experiment and explore!
From picture books to middle grade novels, both fiction and non-fiction – join me in exploring real and imaginary worlds.

I am captivated by the picture book format. Well written picture books connect parents and children, appeal to older kids, and help us understand ourselves and the world around us. Check out previews of my picture book drafts and see clips of some of my favorites.
