Welcome!

Our world has plenty of bad news these days. But we also have sunrises, science, and stories (and donuts!). I believe in reading something small each day to feel more connected, hopeful, and grateful.

Teaching virtually? I’ve gathered readalouds of some of my books here!

I write small reads for kids (but grown-ups like them, too!). I am a visiting author, a speaker, and the creator of Writer in Progress, where educators and writers can follow along as I draft and create. Please explore my website to learn more, connect with me on social media, sign up for my educator newsletter, or join my writing community.

March News

Writing Alone Together

Busy times here! I'm working on new picture books and also continuing to invite people to Write Alone Together with me. In March, it's happening on Wed., March 10, at 6 p.m. Central Time. You can sign up here for this free event!

I'm also doing some virtual author visits and Family Literacy Nights this month, and it's lovely to write poems with students again!

Hooray for creativity and connections :>)
