Nonfiction...

.
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.

Happy Book Birthday to LITTLE KIDS FIRST BIG BOOK OF ROCKS, MINERALS, AND SHELLS

What fun this was to write!!! A million thanks to Marfe Delano and Grace Hill Smith at National Geographic who made this possible and to my shelling mentors Brenna Maloney and Bernice Docherty.

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."

Check out Kathy Temean's wonderful write-up about the book: https://kathytemean.wordpress.com/

Please check back frequently as there are more books coming:
TAPPING FEET from Reycraft Books, a book about Virginia from ABDO Common Core and a couple of books in two new series from National Geographic---shhhh! It's a secret.

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 and TREE FROGS: Life in the Leaves both got STARRED reviews from Booklist.
