Hey Meadow, let’s run!
Charlie with snowball socks – it’s hard to tell where his paws are

Rolling in the snow is always fun!
Charlie figures out a way to collect more snow by rubbing his head in it.

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.

My colleague’s partner brought their retriever/poodle cross into work today. A lovely dog 🙂

They’re very sweet and loving. Charlie’s a bit of a goofball, but I’m sure he’ll outgrow it.

‘Archie’ is a bundle of energy but he does get anxious if lefton his own, I guess he’ll grow out of it.

Charlie is fine alone at home but if I take him somewhere and am out of his sight, he gets upset. It’s a blessing and a curse, but it means he’s really good off leash because he wants to be near me.
