  • Book Reading

    March 11, 2025

    Two of the sweet Henkel girls in my book’s dedication attend Three Oaks Elementary School and were instrumental in inviting me to their school to share my book with their classes: Mrs. Horn’s 4th grade class and Mrs. Minetti’s 3rd grade class. The students were welcoming and full of wonderful questions. It was such a joy to bring Molly the Mockingbird to life for them. I look forward to reading at many more schools and encouraging young kids to find their special talents.

    Molly the Mockingbird is resting her wings happily in the NEW section of the children’s books at the Sanibel Public Library. It feels so good to have her in the place that inspired her creation. Sanibel is home to incredible bird species, like the anhinga and roseate spoonbill. Go check her out today!
