Children's book writer | Educator | Activist
I've been creating print and digital content for kids and teens since forever. Seriously. My first children's book, People Are Like Lollipops, was published by Holiday House in 1971 and read on the Captain Kangaroo Show by the Captain himself. For the past 30 years I've been creating interactive entertainment for kids and their parents. My interactive titles include: Consulting Detective, Joins the Parade, Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon, , , . My book titles include: Armchair BASIC, Teen Survival Guide to Dating and Relating, Too Stressed to Think, Middle School Confidential (book and app series), Teaching Kids To Be Good People, the Raymond and Sheila books, The Girls' Q&A Book on Friendship. I am an SEL presenter (Social and Emotional Learning). I speak at schools and conferences, teaching kids (and the adults who live and work with them) to manage their emotions and their behavior so they can get along better with themselves and everyone else.

And when are those relationships more volatile than in middle school? #Hiking #California #DogofPost "Nature is not a place to visit. It is home." Gary Snyder Gracie the Dog agrees.

Thank you, Michael Moore, for reminding us that rather than offering "thoughts and prayers" after each mass shooting, and hopelessly hoping our country's violence never takes down our own child or grandchild, that we can and must fight with equal determination for sensible gun l #DogsOfPost Gracie the Dog: Uh, are you going to throw that ball any time soon? Or should I keep on chewing this delicious grass? #DogsOfPost #california #hiking Next atmospheric river due to hit around midnight, so of course we’re hiking now. @davidbfox and Gracie the Dog "Defense. Courage. Endurance." Zelenskyy is the epitome of moral leadership. #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine Do Dogs Eat Flowers?
#DogsOfPost #humor #KidLit Poppy, crouched low and trembling, peered through the tall grass as the beast foraged closer. Too late to make a run for it, she pinned her survival hopes on the myth that dogs are colorblind. #kidlit #watercolor #illustration Castle Boat (in progress) Any #RubeGoldberg fans out there?
