I’m a picture book author-illustrator, singer-songwriter and multi-media fine artist from Western Ma who shares a ten acre kettle pond with beavers, turtles, fireflies and blue herons.
After watching Al Gore’s environmental film, An Inconvenient Truth, I realized the best way I could contribute to slow global warming was by using my artistic ability and love of writing to make picture books with kid-friendly, understated environmental concepts.
