My Background

As an educator, I understand the importance of creating learning experiences for children that are fun and engaging. Whenever I pick up a book I think about how children will respond to it. Is the cover appealing? Is the title captivating? and What will the children learn from the story? are the questions I ask myself.


When I write a story, I write because I enjoy it, but as I write I am thinking about the illustrations and how the story will enhance learning experiences.

Rollo’s Wet Surprise is a lovely book and a great picture for kids who are learning to read. Some parts are funny and some are a little sad. It’s cool that’s it’s from the dogs point of view ‘cause it makes it funny and like Rollo is actually talking.
