Helping Kids Through Tough Times
For nearly 25 years, I’ve written books for children of all ages, from babies to teens. Most of the books are designed to address kids’ social and emotional (SEL) needs. My hope has always been that my books might provide skill-building, reassurance, and comfort to children with all types of challenges, in all kinds of communities.
During our current time of uncertainty and worry, we’re all looking for ways to focus on mental health and connection. I hope you’ll find useful resources here.

Got messes? Who doesn’t?
Let’s think of messy time as learning time for little ones curious about the world around them.
Coming March! Available for preorder.

Winter, Wheels, and Small Walt!
Small Walt has a brand-new book—and some new friends. In the newest Small Walt story, Walt and his driver Gus find a stray one snowy day. A community service officer—and her SUV named Bea—come to help.

Revised and Updated
A new edition of an old favorite. I’m so happy this book has stayed in print nearly a decade and is now revised and updated for a new generation of kids on the spectrum.
