Fantastic Fruits - one of six books in the 'Healthy Eating' series
Hot Off the Press! Six new books based on the USDA 'MyPlate' dietary guidelines. This 'Healthy Eating' series features individual books on Vegetables, Fruits, Grains, Protein, Dairy, and Snacks.
In my new school visit program , I talk about the writing and research for these nonfiction graphic books and offer additional healthy eating tips, as well as a fun 'Fact or Fiction' food guessing game. I'm also excited to announce that on certain dates, a doctor-nutritionist will also be available to accompany me to talk first-hand about healthy food choices.

Graphic designs with bright illustrations explain the importance of healthy eating!
My three nonfiction 'Data Mania' books have been selected as winners in the 2012 Teachers' Choice Awards by Learning magazine!
EVERYONE FEELS Series - 4 new books - Scared, Sad, Happy and Angry
Everyone Feels Scared Sometimes - and everyone feels sad, happy, and angry sometimes, too. Bright illustrations and simple text show pre-school and early elementary school children productive and healthy ways to express their feelings - and understand and develop empathy for other peoples feelings.
With amusing puppets and animated exercises, my school presentations keep the attention of even the youngest children. Find out more - click on 'School Visits' above!
**Review from 'Books That Heal'** - "These books are SUPER user friendly and can be used in a multipurpose fashion. I know I'm not going to lose my audience. There's a lot of books out there explaining what a feeling is...but these go further. It teaches kids it's sometimes necessary to do something with those feelings. Do something positive."
