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, Carol! I’ve never seen one before. I would have loved to capture the front but this friend was waddling away.

Everything about porcupines make me smile (except when a dog has gotten in trouble with one), and this rear end especially.

I’m in complete agreement with you! The way they waddle away is so adorable, although I wish I could have gotten a picture of the face. Thankfully Charlie was not there to meet this critter so I was able to enjoy it worry free! I’ve heard they are very nasty to tangle with for a dog.
