Who I am: a writer, teacher, dreamer, friend

Why I write: I read hundreds of books to babies and toddlers as a teacher, and wanted to know what made certain books captivating. Why did kids care about stories I thought were boring? Why weren’t they interested in stories I thought were beautiful? I wondered if my stories and words could capture young children’s attention, too.

What’s ahead: If you’re a reader, you might like to hear the stories behind my stories. If you’re a writer, you might like to hear how you can get started or get your own work published.
