For Educators

Welcome!

Whether you’re a classroom teacher, a homeschooler, a parent, or just someone who loves kids, books and nature, I hope you will find my books to be helpful. My goal in writing each one has been to excite young readers about science and help them discover the natural world that surrounds us.

And for something completely different…

Most of my books are science-based nonfiction, with one exception: a historical novel for middle grade. The Invasion of Sandy Bay is a true story of a long-forgotten incident in history, when the British invaded a little Massachusetts town in 1814. Redcoats came face to face with New England fishermen—and enemies found themselves working together instead of fighting each other.
