My avocation is writing picture books for kids aged two to eight, mid-graders, and young adults. Although I have written poetry of all types: free verse, Ogden Nash-types, New Age and other genres, I keep coming back to what makes me the happiest – making children’s imaginations burst with excitement and fun. Nothing in the world makes me happier than to see a child laugh or sport a huge smile, and to know that I helped bring that on.
