Tonight is the virtual ceremony for the CA Golden Poppy Book Awards! SPARK is a finalist for middle grade. Fingers crossed-but so grateful to be included with these other fantastic middle grade novels. This is my heart- & in a difficult world-books like these bring hope and understanding,

In a post that nobody asked for 😬 here are some of my favorite -newer-middle grade books that I shared with readers at some of the schools I was lucky enough to visit this year! School visits really are the best. It always feels like Hope!

After a challenging year for our family, we are celebrating some of the good things of 2025 for my little novel in verse-SPARK from Feiwel & Friends/Macmillan-the best part has been the support of educators, parents, & the awesome readers young& not as young💙 I know it’s just the start. thank you!

Grateful to be a contributor to DIVERSE. Verse novels tell stories in music & image, & provide action along with deep dives into the internal ocean of a character. I talk about the writing process in my interview in DIVERSE, a collection of craft talks by awesome verse novelists!
