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. View more posts

I’m thinking Charlie sees being inside during all this as tragically unfair. I know our dog would be going crazy. She thinks squirrels are outerspace invaders.

Charlie is very lucky. He is outside on hiking trails almost every day, running and swimming with his BFF, Meadow. He never barks at his new friend, Walter.

This made me laugh, 😀 I see you caught he/she red handed! (Lovely photos though, we don’t get squirrels here in deepest suburbia.)

Yes, Andrew we caught him red handed. 😂😂 I love how intently Charlie watches him at the pumpkin and then when he takes a piece to the tree next to the front step to eat in peace. Charlie never barks and just watches quietly. Sadly, the neighbor’s dog barks and scares Walter (the squirrel) away but he always comes back. More tomorrow. 🐿
