WelcomeLet the sun shine in your soul every day. |
I'm excited to see you here! Come on in and take a look.
Last October 2021, my debut into the world of children's picture books happened with the publication of Chicken Frank, Dinosaur! from Albert Whitman & Co. It is illustrated by Jojo Ensslin. I'd love to have readers share the journey. Hop on board by signing up for my newsletter to receive updates. |
