Yay! You’re here!
It’s so nice of you to stop by! Here are some pictures of me so you can see what I look like, whether I am holding a baby chick, being attacked by my children, or trying to think of a story idea.



I wonder what we have in common?
I live near a river, not far from an ocean and not far from a city.
Animals live in my house, plus there’s me. Oh, and my family. Did I mention animals?
There’s a 7-foot boa constrictor, four different kinds of chickens including one that lays green eggs, a flame-crested gecko, many species of frogs including the most poisonous kind on Earth, and also a sweet, crazy young cat who can actually bounce off the walls.
Some things I love:
- Watching clouds move fast overhead on a blue-sky day
- Riding my bike around empty parking lots
- Drawing in pencil, especially everyday things like sinks and stuffies
- Listening to stories, thinking of stories, and also reading stories
- Eating chocolate
How about you?
Here are some organizations that I support:
12×12

I go batty for badges in Julie Hedlund’s 12×12 Picture Book Challenge. Every month since 2018, I’ve written a new manuscript and edited an old one. 24 badges a year! That’s a lot of witches and groundhogs and robots and bubbles. You know? A LOT.
(And other characters too!)
We Need Diverse Books

By day, I work for a firm that helps companies and schools become more diverse, equitable, and inclusive by creating cultures in which people of color and women are leaders. By night, I am a member of Families Organizing for Racial Justice. By all the time, I fight for more perspectives to be shared and more diverse voices to be part of the big conversations in our community. Especially in books for kids!
