Tuesday night I spent time watching the moonrise. A #Supermoon #Pinkmoon brought people around the planet out to pause and admire its beauty.
Watching it travel through the clouds as the sky grew dark was powerful. In spite of everything that’s going on right now, the moon doesn’t care. She does her thing, looking all bright and beautiful. 💙
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.

I am one of the lucky few to be blessed with a job that is in a critical industry. So, I am weathering this well, compared to others. I feel bad for so many and I hope this comes to and end sooner than later.
