Congratulations Kendra Dillon, winner of Jill Dana’s fabulous giveaway, BUTTERNUT & BUTTERCUP, illustrated by Rachel Tan-Hwee. Thank you Jill for being on the blog. Kendra, email me your mailing address so that I can share it with Jill.
Don’t miss my interview from Tuesday, 4/4 with author Marcia Bergner, celebrating her new picture book, BUSY FEET, illustrated by Susan Chapman. Coming Tuesday, 4/18 I’ll share my interview with author-illustrator Molly Ruttan, celebrating her latest book, SOMETHING WILD which you may have seen on Saturday.
In May, I’m excited to bring you two more author-illustrators, Marie Boyd whose book JUST A WORM is something that reminds me of raising my own children, and Bonnie Kelso whose book NUDI GILL takes a look at something in the ocean I’d never heard of before (new learning for me!)

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.
