Aloha sunrise 🌺

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

Your photography is just stunning! Or maybe it’s the earth that’s stunning and your skilled photography does a fabulous job of recording it.

Thank you! This was a day I won’t soon forget and just in case I do, I recorded it well with my camera. 😊 It’s a spectacular view and I am grateful for the opportunity to have made it there on a perfect day.
