Author's BIO


I have had a long history with children. I was a Reading Specialist and third grade teacher. Helping children develop a love for reading has been a priority. It is my hope that children will read my books, and they will become steppingstones to other books. I am the author of BABA'S BABUSHKA, eight children's books starring the Nittany Lion and a beginning to read book, THIS IS THE SEED.
