Writing

I write picture books, chapter books, and nonfiction for kids with curious minds and kind hearts. I believe books have the power to make us all feel a little less alone, and the best ones leave room for the reader's imagination. Whether it's a poetic picture book, a zippy early reader, or a kid-friendly take on the physics of time travel, my books are philosophical and filled with quirky tidbits, playful language, and lots of heart. I’m currently working on my first book for grown ups! It’s all about making space for creativity in motherhood. Emelie Burl is my agent.
