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 hope it’s clear enough to see it. Right now the clouds are gathering after a bit of overnight snow.

Hi Laura, well this evening I’ve been looking through my telescope up at the moon, and even though a little tricky I took some photographs through the telescope eyepiece….……… they’re ok, lol will never make it into a copy of ‘Nature’ but I’ll post them tomorrow. Viewing was a little problematic simply because of the amount of water vapour in the sky and the wispy clouds floating by. All good fun 🙂

It’s interesting to try new things with the camera and occasionally even editing. I try not to post altered photos except the occasional lightening up so it’s clearer. Not colors of sunrise or sunset, because it’s unnecessary. I can’t wait to see them.
What does the A stand for? In my mind, it’s Alan.
