About Me
I am a school social worker turned parent volunteer who will find any excuse to visit a classroom. Being around children means I get to be around beautiful books. I love everything about books… the smell, the page turns and the beautiful illustrations but most special are the kids that hold them. I am that person that hugs picture books. I spend my days enjoying the outdoors, driving in circles to get my kids places, baking chocolate chip cookies, and finding awe in each moment. And then figuring out how to weave that into a story. I live in Chicago (Go Cubs!) with my husband, three children and my cute dog Ivy.
