A little intro:
I'm an author, cartoonist, zoologist, & lover of all things creativity & nature.
Just between us, I believe:
- I believe every kid is wildly creative — and that stories, nature, and a little curiosity can help them discover what lights them up.
- Books can be a passport to wonder.
- Creativity is a way to care — for ourselves, for each other, and for the world around us.
...I’m here to help kids grow their imaginations, fall in love with the planet, and feel at home in their own curious minds.
Here, we're all about...
Exploring Science & Nature
Empowerment & Identity
Creativity & Curiosity
Humour & Wit
A bit about me...
Hi! I'm a writer, zoologist, and artist with a relentless curiosity about the world and the stories and creativity it inspires.
In my books, I love exploring where curiosity and creativity meet — that magical space where wonder turns into discovery.
I write about imagination, nature, self expression, and the small, curious ways we notice the world around us.
Through both fiction and nonfiction, I hope to help kids look a little closer, dream a little bigger, and feel more connected to the things they care about -- and themselves.
