Occupation	children's writer, teacher
Introduction	In real life, I don't have chartreuse feathers or scratch around a farm yard, but I do love worms- especially when they're nibbling the kitchen scraps in my compost bin. As a reader, writer, teacher and parent, I am always looking for new ways to go green. I enjoy reading eco-conscious books, exploring local farmer's markets, and working with neighborhood schools to initiate environmental programs. Whether I'm writing picture books, poetry, or articles for children's magazines, I find inspiration from nature and environmental topics.
Interests	Planting seeds, Pecking about Farmer's Markets, Scratching down ideas for stories, Hatching plans to help the environment
Favorite Movies	Any Chick Flicks...
Favorite Music	Dixie Chicks, Green Day
Favorite Books	The Little Red Hen, Chicks and Salsa, Cook-a-doodle-do, oh, and of course The Lorax (A great cautionary tale about taking care of the earth despite the lack of chicken characters.)
