the truth, and nothing but!
Welcome to my world of amazing but true!
Most of what I write is nonfiction for third and fourth grade readers about animals, civil rights, history and more. I love learning new things, and I hope you will too! I am available for visit schools, so please check out my school visits page.

Check back soon--there are more titles coming. One is a book I co-authored with artist John Platt called HOW TO DRAW A LION (expected publication in Fall, 2020 by Sleeping Bear Press). It will be illustrated with the artwork of children that John has taught in several different African children's villages and the authors' portion of the proceeds will be donated to John's charity.

I am honored that THE INVASION OF NORMANDY from North Star Editions and GREAT WHITE SHARKS from Scholastic Children's Press are both Junior Library Guild selections! And THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT THROUGH THE EYES OF LYNDON B. JOHNSON got a STARRED review from Booklist.
