I'm a wife, mom, children's author, and professor of early childhood education. Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I created this space to bring together the things I love most—children's books, early education, resources for educators and families, and my faith in Jesus. Whether you're a parent, teacher, college student, or simply someone who loves great stories, I hope you'll find encouragement, inspiration, and practical resources here.

My husband, Mike, and I live just outside Nashville with our young son and our two four-legged sidekicks—Jäger, our Boxer, and Ruby Sue, our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Life is busy, joyful, and often a little messy...just the way childhood is meant to be.
