My Children's Books

 A Horse Is in My House Again - my second book in my Poetry For Kids series has arrived!

Are you ready for wild wordplay, and rhyming fun on every page?   

Inside, you’ll meet Cynthia Skunk, the ginormous giant Norm,  Octavius the tangled Octopus, Hillary Hoot who lives in a boot, Roderick Rince—a feisty prince, and upside-down Odd Howie! You’ll feast your eyes on peanut butter pickles, birch bark birthday cake and salsa ice cream, before sailing a syrup sea on a colossal waffle.

Don’t miss the dragon with a wagon, the lonely Loch Ness monster, or the porcupine’s birthday party.Open this book to join the fun. The poetry party has just begun!
