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

Thank you! 🥰 He is absolutely loved he might not receive everything he wants but I try to keep it interesting for him. I love that he stops and smells the flowers, channeling his inner Ferdinand. 🐂

I’m mostly doing drive-by flower sniffing these days, LOL. Am thinking I’ll take a breather sometime in October or maybe December, LOL. In other words, I’ll try to be like Charlie!

This particular hydrangea is usually blocked by cars when we are walking but if we go late enough in the morning, we can see it. It’s so pretty and just the right height for Charlie to enjoy.
