As a child, whenever anyone would ask me, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I would answer, “I want to write books and make the pictures!” That enthusiasm has never wavered. Fifty years later, I still feel happiest when I’m writing or creating.

​I’m a lifelong lover of  folklore and fairy tales. I believe the stories we share, especially over generations, are doorways to deep connection and a feeling of belonging.
