​​“The child is in me still . . .
​and sometimes not so still.”
Fred Rogers


​
And that child still remembers all that made a difference.
Kathryn Powell

​Ever try wrangling a toddler,
or a room full of toddlers,
into sitting still for a story? 
If the answer is yes,
you’ve come to the right place!
​But . . . while I’m creating this website to help you read aloud to the children in your lives, enjoy a tiny
​doggie storytime.
She’s young, busy, curious, funny.
And those ears!
​All the better to listen with—sort of. 

WELCOME!

I’m a picture book writer, singer, songwriter, storyteller and fiddler, with a degree in education and a graduate certificate in library science—including courses in children’s literature and storytelling. I’ve worked with children of all ages for decades! My life is teaching, coaching, making music, entertaining children, writing, attending picture book writing workshops and . . . 
doing all I can to share the joy and importance of reading aloud.
