I am a children’s author. I love to write books and poems for children. Most visitors to my web site are book-loving kids, parents, or teachers. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your visit! And keep reading!

Silly Ghosts pop out from Jumping Jack Press to delight kids and adults this Halloween (View pop-ups). Watch my interview on WTNH, Channel 8, to learn the story behind the story (Silly Ghosts on WTNH).

What happens when it’s winter and a little girl gets big ideas? She builds Snowzilla, of course! In 2012, Marshall Cavendish will release this story about a snowman so huge he causes an uproar in town. Who ever heard of a lawsuit over a snowman?  Amanda Haley will illustrate this story.

Check out the cool cover for the full-text board book version of If Kisses Were Colors! This sturdy edition is the perfect size for special little hands.
