Mountain Sunrise

Morning paints the sky
swirling colors of daylight
get me out of bed

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.

  1. Last night we had clear skies over here in the UK, between 9.55 and 10.05pm white dots approx. the size and brightness of a star travelled West – East across the night sky. We had a clear night and I saw 3! Apparently some people see 30 but the time-lapse photos are misleading…….. still, conceptually an impressive spectacle 🙂

    And what are these dots? They’re Elon Musk’s latest batch of global internet satellites, they’re in low orbit for the next few nights are you able to see them Laura?
