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

Magnolias are gorgeous and your photo of it and the accompanying haiku lovely. I took some photos yesterday of a magnolia tree. The flowers were just opening.

Thank you, Lynette! I’m visiting Brooklyn and they have these New York rain gardens that are on the parkway (between the sidewalk and the street) which are a public project. I didn’t read the whole sign but it’s really a beautiful thing!
Thank you for your kind words. 💜
