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, including virtual ones during the pandemic, so please check out my school visits page.

I am honored to announce that Stompin' at the Savoy has won the
2021 Florida Book Award Silver Medal for Young Children's Literature. Thanks so much to the wonderful judges and administrators for believing in my book. And congratulations to my fellow award winners. www.floridabookawards.org |
Check out the latest review from Hornbook which quoted my favorite line
from the book: "his heart beat in swing time."
Kirkus called STOMPIN' AT THE SAVOY, illustrated by Laura Freeman, "an effervescent celebration."
School Library Journal's Verdict: "An upbeat addition to biographical
picture book collections."
