I write books and short stories full of science, wonder, and
imagination for kids and adults!
Books
Trunk Goes Thunk!
My debut picture book uses word opposites such as small and large, dark and light, high and low, and fast and slow to introduce young readers to the natural recycling of fallen timber into log bridges. From bears, porcupines and raccoons to eagles, mice and deer, a host of forest animals repurpose a fallen tree, connecting two sides of a stream together throughout the seasons.
The Haunted States of America
My short story, “White Thing,” represents my home state of Alabama
Backyard Stew
This interactive picture book will spark young readers’ imaginations as they mix up a tried-and-true “recipe” of backyard ingredients that turns out to be even more fun when made with friends.
