I love little more than standing in front of a group of students, helping them - through story - to grasp the inspiring truth that each of them matters (autonomy), each of them belongs (community), and that each of them can do hard things (resilience).
I am passionate about using my books (ELA) to inspire the stories (SEL) within children. And I don’t take lightly any opportunity to seek and speak to the whole child.
And so I love author visits. Love them. When I was little, and even into high school, I was sure I would be a teacher. Because I’ve always loved to be around kids. The fact that I’m now blessed with the opportunity to combine my love of writing and speaking with my love of kids, it’s humbling.
