I am a member of SCBWI.
My picture books are geared toward ages 5-8,
BUT I am a big supporter of #PictureBookADay all the way up to adulthood.
AND I love me some #DragQueenStoryHour!
My stories center around important topics of conversation.
Let's encourage adults to have deep, meaningful discussions with their children.
At bedtime, four siblings ask their mother a loaded question.
At first, it’s a game. But the stakes rise quickly – What if she had to pick one?
The children must untangle why being helped first doesn’t mean being loved more.
WHO DO YOU LOVE MOST? is a 556-word rhythmic picture book for ages 5-8 that explores how love can feel unequal—even when it isn’t. Through sibling logic, escalating scenarios, and a quiet emotional turn, the story invites children to arrive at their own understanding of love.
Every child is certain of one thing: MONSTERS ARE REAL!
They leave clues everywhere—
Smudges on the glass, a foul smell in a shoe, a sticky ring on the table.
Tonight, our boy sets a trap.
The noises creep closer.
The shadows shift.
This is it.
MONSTERS ARE REAL! is a 590-word rhythmic picture book for ages 5-8 that blends humor and suspense with a high-energy read-aloud voice. Built on accumulating “evidence” and a fast-paced nighttime payoff, it delivers a playful twist on a familiar childhood fear.
Our girl has already decided who she’s going to be when she grows up: Dad.
She likes to dress up and pretend.
Bald with a big belly, baggy jeans and a long beard. But Mom has other ideas and sends the two of them to the mall for a dress.
Somewhere between the fitting room and the mirror, the rules start to blur.
JUST LIKE DAD is a 571-word lyrical picture book for ages 5-8 that explores identity, imitation, and unconditional love through a playful role reversal and a close father-child bond.
When a gum-loving kid runs out of his favorite coping mechanism in the middle of the grocery store, he does what any reasonable child would do: hides behind a wall of toilet paper in Aisle Nine.
As customers pluck rolls away, the wall eventually collapses and mom comes running - only to discover the real problem isn’t bad behavior, but a kid with big feelings and no gum to help manage them.
Aisle Nine is a 505-word lyrical picture book for ages 5-8. Imaginative, funny, and based on a true story!
On an alien planet, much like ours, a bluish youngling with five eyes and four throats develops a crush on a classmate in school. Seeking advice from his family at dinner, all his siblings offer opinions on how to impress (her?). He tries each technique, but every youngling must discover their own path in order for a connection to be made.
For all those facing young love, be yourself.
The Only Known (Alien) Fable is a 790-word lyrical picture book for ages 5-8...even if you aren't bluish.
