Watch me on CBS Sunday Morning! My latest picture book project about Eleanor Abbott, the elusive inventor of the board game Candy Land, led me on a rainbow road of adventure. Join Sandra A. Miller and I as we reveal the surprising twists that our research turned up on CBS this Sunday, July 13, 2025.
Hello.
I’m a children’s book author and maker of whimsical things. For my day job, I wear glasses & cardigans (I’m a school librarian).
My nonfiction picture book, Flip! How the Frisbee Took Flight is available at bookshop.org and Barnes and Noble.
Flip! How the Frisbee Took Flight
Did the first Frisbees really come from college students tossing around empty pie plates? And if so, why were those crazy kids eating so much pie? Find out more in FLIP!
Book Crafts
Reading books & making stuff. The best combo since doughnuts and . . . more doughnuts? Sample some of my all-time favorite picture book crafts here.
Upcoming Events
I love visiting schools and libraries! I am also available for library programs or evening literacy nights.
