Spring arrives in bits and pieces
fits and starts
one step forward, two steps back
like a Chacha.
Temperatures soar for a day or three
then dive down like a bird of prey
But then, little by little,
all of the pieces come together!
The scent of lilacs
The sound of frogs and hummingbirds
The creeks rushing from melt off
Buds on the aspens
Days growing longer at dawn and dusk
The warmth of the sun
YES! All the signs are here

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.

Thank you! I’ve been writing poetry for a while but haven’t shared much of it until recently. I appreciate the encouragement. 😊
If I ever finish revising my novel, there’s a lot of poetry written by one of my main characters embedded in the book.
