Children's Books and Poetry

WELCOME!

Welcome to my site! I'm a children's author and poet. I write quite a bit and illustrate just a little for books and magazines, and am thrilled to share poetry, pictures, activities, writing advice and other tips. This is the inspirational place for reader, writer, student, teacher, parent, and friend!
