Hi! Welcome to my website. I love a good story and try to create ones that are memorable, entertaining and sometimes educational. (What can I say? I’m a teacher.)

If you have or work with children and are looking for some good books for them, be sure to check out my blog. I choose a theme and recommend books, as well as activities, crafts and/or teaching suggestions, that go with the theme. You can see a sample of my most recent blog posts at the end of this page. For a complete list of my themed book recommendations, go to the post library.

For updates about me and my current projects, visit my Facebook page. To get to know me better, check out the About page or, if you want to learn just how nerdy I am, the My Favorite Things page.
