Hello!
I write non-fiction books for kids about science, nature, and animals—but with a twist.
My pythons are on roller skates. My wisdom teeth talk. The Great Eel Mystery is yet to be solved. And there’s a witch at the bottom of the sea.
I have been lucky to collaborate with amazing illustrators, editors, and designers to produce books that—I hope you’ll agree—are just as beautiful as they are informative.
