I love talking with students about books and writing! Working with young writers and inspiring them to find their own voices has been the most fulfilling part of being a teacher and author.

My career as an elementary school librarian & teacher directly led to me to writing for children.

Our active library was filled with literature discovery and discussion, examination of writers' and illustrators' choices, and all kinds of writing--poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.

I've hosted many author visits, in person and virtual. Now that I'm a full-time writer, I'm offering my own visits.

I look forward to meeting you and your students!
