I am a Michigan native who has always loved reading as much as exploring the outdoors! Getting kids into the magic of books and the mystery of nature is as much fun for me as the kids who I write and illustrate for. These Michigan books are printed here in Michigan and all the homegrown adventure can be found in a town, city, park, or wild place near you!
I am a Michigan artist and author/illustrator who has always loved reading as much as exploring the outdoors. The magic of books and the mystery of nature is something I enjoyed as a kid growing up in my wild home of pines and ponds. But you don’t need to go far to find story. Our cities and suburbs have vibrant wildlife with their own stories to tell. Homegrown adventure is found outside your door in a town, city, park or wild place near you!
I have been writing for as long as I can recall and had my first book, Lissy-Lost!, published in 2003. Holly Wild and her tales came about in 2012, my Sense-of-Place picture books in 2015 that highlight Michigan places and legends.
My books are found in Michigan libraries, schools, and state and national parks. I hope you will enjoy reading them and have as much fun as I did making them! Get up, get out, get wild!
