I began my career with children as a preschool teacher and then as a pediatric nurse. My love for kids and childrens' literature has led me to writing stories that make kids laugh, feel loved, and inspire a sense of joy and wonder in the world. There's just no substitute for reading to children. The benefits are truly endless and will last their whole life long.

When children grow up, they can pass their beloved story books on to their children and grandchildren to enjoy all over again. I hope that you'll consider adding one or more of my books, appropriate for children ages 3-7. The youngest child will enjoy the watercolor illustrations and grow into the story, while the oldest child might be able to actually read the text to you or another child. And, reading gives you a chance to enjoy your child or children. Many, many thanks for browsing my books.
