More About the Author

I am a children's book author focusing on picture books and middle grade novels (for now anyway!). I got my start with two middle grade friendship novels sold exclusively through the school market at Scholastic - The Valentine's Day Disaster (01/08) and The Friendship Experiment (02/09). My first picture book, The Littlest Pilgrim (10/08), spent three weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List for children's paperbacks in Fall 2008.

My newest middle grade novel is Miss Fortune. Miss Fortune launched in August 2010 as part of Scholastic's new Poison Apple line. And my latest picture book is The Littlest Christmas Star, which debuted in September 2010.

This is a very sweet story with which many little kids (especially ones with big brothers and sisters!) can identify. The book is about Mini, a pilgrim who wants to help. But everyone is too busy or she's too little to help with any chores. What makes this book unique is the setting. She's wanting to help stack wood and mend dresses and bake bread... all of these activities can lead to great questions/discussions about early Americans. So cute!

This book is absolutely adorable! We have read it every night for the past week. It isn't too long, but it isn't too short either. The illustrations are simple and classic. Definitely one of our faves!

My preschoolers at Story Time loved this book. Naturally, they could relate to the Littlest Pilgrim, Mini (how appropriate!) because how many times during a preschooler's day are they told that they are "too little to help" and to go play elsewhere. Our little Mini does this on Thanksgiving Day, going from place to place, person to person, until finally, she finds someone that doesn't tell her she's too tiny! Mini is just the perfect size to make a special friend, even though her brand new tiny friend doesn't speak English like Mini....it doesn't matter because they speak the language of love and kindness. What a sweet book! It's definitely on my list to read next Thanksgiving at work.
