Welcome Parents and Educators!
Welcome! I'm an author with a great passion for literacy. I also love to connect kids with
stories, science and art.   I'm available for speaking engagements, please
email  me for
more information about my various programs. Also, please keep checking back for new
information.
Download a pdf flyer for my elementary school visits.
Making the most of my visit!
Before becoming independent readers, children need exposure to many ideas, words
and experiences. This knowledge serves as a foundation for reading. Below are links
that will help your child or student  build a frame of knowledge for a select number of my
books. I've included links to several sites that will help make my visit even more
meaningful. Choose activities that fit personal learning styles. Have fun!
CALENDAR
Select Titles To Explore. Have Fun! Enjoy!
Check out my visit to Meadowdale Pre-School in Lynnwood, Washington.  We had lots
of fun investigating vegetables.
