My interest in the moon has been a topic of conversation with friends for quite a while. Since my book was announced, I’ve had conversations with a wide variety of people and it feels that attraction to the moon is universal.
What is it about the moon that makes you stop and look up?
Do you love the bright full moon on a dark night?
Is your favorite a crescent moon where you can only see a sliver of light reflecting?
Do you enjoy the morning sky with the moon greeting the sun as it slips away?

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.
