Readers, I hope you’ll check out my interview with Jilanne Hoffmann from Tuesday celebrating her nonfiction picture book, A RIVER OF DUST.
Coming in August I have something completely different, two authors who are celebrating debuts: Benjamin Ryan, author of a Young Adult novel MADAME ELDRIDGE’S WAYWARD HOME FOR UNRULY BOYS and Matthew Broberg-Moffitt author of COLOR TASTE TEXTURE: Recipes for Picky Eaters, Those with Food Aversion & Anyone Who’s Ever Cringed at Food.

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.
