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 🌝 Victoria! It’s one of my favorite things to photograph but sometimes I’m worried I’m not doing it justice. I really wanted to stop my car in the middle of the road and get out with my camera for these but I had to go to a place where it was a bit safer. 💜💜💜 I really appreciate your taking the time to comment.

This last full moon appeared brighter than usual, the entire cloudless sky was bathed in a dull glow

When it first came into view, about ten minutes before I took these because I had to get somewhere I could pull over, it was truly gasp worthy! I love when I see moonrise while it’s not yet dark. 💙🌝💙

Thank you, Michael. 🌝 I think tonight into tomorrow morning is the peak of the Leonids meteor shower, but I’d need different equipment to photograph it, but if you live where it’s visible, definitely worth catching.
