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.

I'm also presenting at a Young Authors Conference, marketing all 3 new books, and doing several virtual field trips for students. Happy almost-spring!
