​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.

from the book: "his heart beat in swing time."

Kirkus called STOMPIN' AT THE SAVOY, illustrated by Laura Freeman, "an effervescent celebration."

An upbeat ­addition to biographical
​picture book collections."
