together we’ve climbed, explored,
making lasting friends

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

Thanks, Rosi! 😊 I saw the picture come up as a memory from 7 years ago and thought how much we’ve been through since then and how he’s been the conduit for me meeting my best friend and now meeting new people in our new town.
I shared a picture of SAM and another book I won from a different blog on BlueSky, facebook, & Instagram – thanks so much!
