Snow gently falling
wood warms my house, heart, and toes
Charlie seems content.

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

This is making me feel good about walking around outside in shorts and flipflops! But boy does Charlie seem cozy. 🙂

Definitely not shorts weather here, but it’s cozy and I’m not complaining. We are just east of the continental divide and it’s really snowing on the other side.

It’s already melting and the sun is breaking through. Unlike in the Midwest, snow here can be here and then gone.
Thank you.
