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.

We were wondering if it was visible on “the other side of the world.”

Lol! I looked it up. The lunar eclipse was only visible in North and South America.

It was cloudy here during the eclipse. Hours before it was clear, by morning it was clear, BUT WHEN IT MEANT SOMETHING TO ME the sky was cloudy. I’m taking it personally. 😊

I’m sorry! We had a similar experience with the solar eclipse. We saw the beginning but at the point of totality (we were at a spot with 94%, so not officially totality) the clouds obscured much of it.

I was fortunate with our Solar eclipse even though it was 65%, quite a spiritual experience actually, along with hundreds of others sat in University Parks Oxford all looking at the Sun through specs provided by the University.

The solar eclipse was wonderful here too. We watched it from a peak so we had a 360 view, but there were some clouds that floated across making it imperfect. Still memorable.
