If you haven’t read my interview with Jennifer Chambliss Bertman from Tuesday celebrating SISTERHOOD OF SLEUTHS, her latest middle grade mystery, you won’t want to miss it and in November, I have Susanna Leonard Hill and Susan Wroble sharing wisdom, inspiration, and books! Don’t miss 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.
