"...This book holds its own with the best of Cynthia Rylant's "Henry and Mudge" titles in terms of writing and illustration. With its drama, alliteration, and wonderful depiction of a shy child breaking through a barrier, this is a winner". -

Booklist -

Welcome to my website - I'm so glad you're here!

I've always loved a good story - there's something magical that happens when you open a book and are suddenly whisked off to a different place or another time where just about anything can happen...

Stories make imagination real.

I'm very excited about my FOUR NEW BOOKS -
The Pizza Palace, The Lemonade Standoff, Mike's Mystery and The Tallest Snowman. Perfect for K- 2nd graders, the stories incorporate math concepts of addition, subtraction, measurements and fractions.
