I am a writer (and often illustrator) of children's middle grade non-fiction nature books. I'm currently working on fiction YA and picture books.

After my first book was published, I bought myself a notecard with the following on its cover: "The stars exist that we might know how high our dreams can soar." I pinned it to the bulletin board above my desk as a reminder of the dream that started ten years earlier when I told a friend, "Someday I'm going to write a book."

Dream big and believe.
