"It’s not our job to toughen our children up to face

a cruel and heartless world. It’s our job to raise children who will make the world a little less

cruel and heartless."  ~ L.R. Knost

About Me

I'm an author and illustrator, a social justice bard, and a complete dork. But I make stories for the best people in the world: kids!

​

When I'm not doing that, you'll probably find me weaving on a loom, watching Star Trek (TNG or DS9), gaming, or baking blue-ribbon cakes. 

​

I'm a member of SCBWI, the 12x12 Picture Book Forum, #PBChat, and #QueerKidLit. I'm also a mom of two small kiddos.
