Tuesday I shared my interview with Picture Book Gold friend Jill Dana author of BUTTERNUT & BUTTERCUP, and coming in April I have two more wonderful Picture Book Gold interviews coming your way: author Marcia Bergner sharing inspiration for her recent release BUSY FEET, and Molly Ruttan author and illustrator of SOMETHING WILD. Trust me, you’re going to want to read all of these!

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.
