Danielle G Simone

Winner of the 2026 Clara J. Johns Literacy Award for Blossoming Chapter books, my job as an author is to encourage children to get outdoors and go exploring! My past experiences may serve as the backdrop for all of Syd's adventures, but our blue heeler Lucy brings it all together through the character of Goose! My work has been recognized by The Nature Generation, Publisher's Weekly, Your Next Best Read, and Reader's Choice Book Awards!
