Welcome

Thank you for visiting my website! It is a work in progress, so please let me know if you have suggestions for things you would especially like me to add.

In addition to children’s librarianship and writing, I also travel across the country speaking to teachers and librarians about ways to make literature come alive for children and sharing techniques for building early literacy skills through puppetry and props.

Upcoming Programs

I am a member of the Storytime team at Stillwater (MN) Public Library. Please see the Library’s calendar for details about storytimes as well as other fun programs at the Library. Hours and location are here.
