welcome!
Home, sweet home page. As the author of picture books and nonfiction for children of all ages, I hope my website, like Johnny Appleseed, will plant seeds of inspiration.
- Students and parents: See how my stories grow from a nibble of an idea.
- Teachers and librarians: Find out how you can use my books to connect with math, science, language arts, and art, and how to invite me to your school.
Enjoy your visit, and come back often. There's always more on the way.
Happy reading!
Ideas are like apples.
Some are red, sweet, and ready to eat. Some are
wormy and rotten to the core, good only for compost. But in between are
others that are just bumpy and bruised. With a little help - trimming,
cooking, revising - we can turn them into something tasty. Which ideas
will you put in your basket? Which idea will you try first?
