A dream come true for me--it's finally here!
TAPPING FEET: How Two Cultures Came Together to Make an American Dance, Illustrated by Colin Bootman, the perfect illustrator for this book, and published by Reycraft Books.
Kirkus called it inspirational and informative, saying "...this tale of two cultures might spark a love of tap in young readers." Let's hope so!

April, 2023--CAN'T GET ENOUGH DOG STUFF!
I am so excited about this book--co-written with Stephanie Gibeault for National Geographic Kids. Please check out the podcast that the TAMPA BAY SPCA posted about this book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qB7Q1n54b4
