Being outside is how I tick, how I breathe, and how I survive. My love and respect of the natural world was formed at an early age through parents and grandparents. With pail in hand, we took in the clues left by nature and learned to be respectful of our place in it. Perhaps, that day's treasures included: rocks, fossils, bird calls, and wild scents. My deepest passion is to be a steward of this precious earth and to teach others how to as well.
My physical journey has taken me through the rolling farm hills of the Midwest, over the covered bridges of the Northeast, through the Gulf Coast, and onto the Southwest. Along the way, I found marriage, motherhood, and my passion for teaching young children in a classroom environment. Writing children's books is a natural extension for me to continue sharing helpful knowledge and tools for many years to come.
Death is a vocabulary word that we as adults shelter children from hearing. It is not if something they love will die, but rather when. Everything that is living has a beginning and an ending. Children's books can be used as tools by families, teachers, and communities to help our kiddos understand death as a part of the natural life cycle.
