Congratulations to Dea Brayden, winner of ENERGY FROM THE EARTH by Susan Wroble!
Thank you Susan for being on the blog and sharing your fascinating stories. Dea, please email me so that I can connect you with your prize.
This is the last giveaway of 2022. I have some amazing interviews with authors and author-illustrators coming in 2023. Thank you to everyone who has read the blog, commented on the posts, and especially to the wonderful creators who have shared their books. I can’t believe I’ve been sharing interviews for two years and have some exciting books I’ll be bringing your way next year. I’ll have a few photography posts and whatnot before January, but the rest of December is for me to focus on my own writing and a few other things.

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.
