Books
My books grow from curiosity, love of language, paying close attention, and the belief that wonder does not belong only to grand adventures. Sometimes it lives in a pawprint, a wingbeat, a shadow, a question, or an "in-between" space.

The Noticing Collection
The Noticing Collection is a group of illustrated children’s books about looking closer: at curious animals, sky travelers, tiny giants, clever cats, darling dogs, and the spaces in-between. Each book uses a different poetic form and visual style, but all begin with the same invitation: notice what might otherwise be missed.
