As a children's author, teacher, writing instructor, and principal, literacy is my passion and it helps for students to meet the authors of books that they are reading. Children love to see an author in action and they feel that they are an actual part of the "bigger" picture.

Only at Grandma's House
A grandmother's love can be described in many ways, but it is more effectively communicated through the art of storytelling.
In this beautiful story detailing a child's memories of her grandmother, the narrator's heart goes out to those that have not experienced this type of joy and love in their lives. Children should understand the importance of grandmothers and how they imprint on the world.
