​I've been busy writing and haven't updated my site in a while. There's much good news. In February, Scholastic Children's Press released GREAT WHITE SHARKS. And in July, I was finally able to get a peek at Little Kids FIRST BIG BOOK OF THE RAIN FOREST. And just out from Scholastic Children's Press--BEAVERS! I truly hope that readers will enjoy them.

Please check back as I am busy working on new titles that will be out in 2019, including books about Gettysburg National Military Park, financial literacy and Florida biographies!

And in other news, I had a great time presenting with Marcie Flinchum Atkins at VAASL about nonfiction last fall. We are doing it again on November 29, 2018 for the Florida Association of Media Educators (FAME) in Orlando!

GOOD NEWS!!!  THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT THROUGH THE EYES OF LYNDON B. JOHNSON got a STARRED REVIEW from Booklist!

They're here: THE INVASION OF NORMANDY from North Star Editions. It is a Junior Library Guild selection--woo-hoo! https://www.juniorlibraryguild.com/books/view/9781635170245.
And just out on Valentine's day, DOG ON A BIKE, probably my favorite National Geographic Kids Chapters book yet!  .

So what's next?  Another National Geographic chapter book about dolphins is almost out!

I've written picture books about the secret personalities of punctuation marks; SOL and curriculum-based biographies, including books on OLIVER HILL and that rascal CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT; and STEM-related TRUE chapter books about animals for National Geographic. I love to do author visits to schools and libraries--please go to my School Visits page to learn more or simply contact me at moirawrite@gmail.com.  I have school programs for all ages.  And I am especially happy to visit schools in my queenly garb to celebrate National Punctuation Day, although I celebrate punctuation every day!

I am now represented by Jennifer Unter at the Unter Agency, so there may be more good news coming!
