Welcome!

Janet

I love being a children's author. I write picture books, both
fiction and nonfiction, and also nonfiction for older readers.

I am delighted to share my writing life with you. Look around
to find out about me, my award-winning books, news & events,
and how to contact me.

Thanks for visiting . . . and come back soon!
