About the Author

My purpose of writing children’s books is to capture the interests of young audiences while motivating them to become lifelong readers. My books are written with my heart, soul, knowledge and experience of a decade of teaching. My priority of constructing “Lunchroom Delight” as well as “Swimming Day”, was for educational purposes first and foremost. Intertwined throughout this book higher order vocabulary words are utilized to increase a child’s verbiage. Entertainment is valued as well to gain and maintain the reader’s interest while becoming a stimulus of one’s mind from cover to cover. I believe writing children’s books chose me. As an educator for more than a decade, I learned how children think. This has given me the upper hand on getting into the minds of our most valuable resource, children. My love of writing has manifested into an obsession.
