My Mission
I write children's poetry. Well, actually, I write novels, and song lyrics, and short stories, and slam poetry, and whatever moves me. I never stop writing. I was surprised, then, when after years of thinking about being a published author, it was with rhyming verse picturebooks. But now it all make sense.
This is who I am.
Unapologetically observational, analytical,
lyrical, and optimistic.

- Nurture a love of nature and language in little ones with big imaginations.
- When your voice won't obey what your'e trying to say, it's OK.
Writing for children with respect. I work hard to earn it back. You can't fool a kid! They inherently know what's true and without agenda. That's why they love poetry. I'm so happy to create the kind

May we always love stories as much as a seal loves the sea!

Carla Maskall and I met in middle-school. She was always into art and I was always into literature. We stayed in touch over the years, but it wasn't until the dark months of COVID that we started to create together.
From story-boarding, to hoofing it at Farmer's Markets, to late night phone calls, and long heart-to-heart planning sessions, we love working together. We are truly partners in this journey and I think it shows in our books. I am so grateful to have Carla as my Illustrator, but I am even more grateful to have her as my Friend (in title case, of course).
