Winner Announcement 3/28/24

Congratulations to Kendra Dillon who won the virtual classroom visit from Laura Bower author of THE IMPOSTER, illustrated by Kerisa Greene and published by Gnome Road Publishing. Thank you Laura for being on the blog and congratulations to you on the enthusiastic reception your debut book has been receiving at your events!

Kendra, please email me so that I can connect you with Laura to arrange the visit with your students.

Readers, please know how much I appreciate your comments and support of the authors on this blog, and on my other posts. It means a lot to me to be connected as I’m coming up on my seventh anniversary of this blog. If you missed my interview on Tuesday with Tracy C. Gold celebrating her book CALL YOUR MOTHER, illustrated by Vivian Minekar you’re going to want to back and check it out. A perfect book for Mother’s Day or any mom in your life. And if you’re looking for a new picture book, don’t forget my recent release, AN ACCIDENTAL HERO: A MOSTLY TRUE WOMBAT STORY, illustrated by Debbie Palen. If you’ve read it but haven’t reviewed it yet, please review it on Goodreads, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. Reviews really help get the word out about new books!

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.
