Yellow aspen leaves
shorter days cool evenings
fall is in the air.
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. View more posts

The most wonderful time of the year! In other news, I visited CO this summer and was enamored by aspen trees–it sounds odd, but they make the most beautiful sound when the wind blows through the leaves. (:

Lindsay! It doesn’t sound odd at all. I have posted about aspens a few times on my blog and probably posted video of the sound when the wind blows in one of them. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
I agree, fall is the best.
