Looking for a Mother's Day gift? Check out the sentiment expressed on the back of my picture book, Whoo, Whoo, Who's Out There?

May 4 - 10 is Children's Book Week! What a great time to share a favorite book with a little one and help foster love of reading!

Last year, I was fortunate enough to be included as a featured author for the Arizona Author Book Festival and the King of Medieval Times read my picture book, Whoo, Whoo, Who's Out There? So much fun to see the reaction of kids listening to him!

On April 26, 1777, sixteen-year-old Sybil Ludington rode through the countryside to muster the militia for her father, Henry Ludington, a colonel in the American militia.

Colonel Ludington had received word that the British were on their way to Danbury, Connecticut, where the militia had stored their munitions. Sybil alerted American colonists to gather at her father's house to oppose the British.

What an amazing feat for a teenage girl to do! She is one of the young women in my middle-grade book, Spies, Soldiers, Couriers, and Saboteurs: Women of the American Revolution.

"Find Your Joy" is the theme for this year's National Library Week, so I hope you are able to do so!

Hope you can take time today to grab your favorite book, curl up in your favorite chair, and enjoy some quality reading time!

Going to be in Central Wisconsin on Saturday, April 25th? Hope you can stop by the Rose House in Stevens Point! I'll be there and so will several other Wisconsin authors -- a great time to meet and greet! Hope to see you there!!

Sometimes it's fun to add an item to a young one's Easter basket besides candy. A colorful picture book is a fun addition that you can share with that special little one! Read the story together and enjoy the delightful illustrations!

And the Cow Jumped Over the Moon showcases how Cow's animal friends encouraged and supported her to achieve her goal of jumping over the moon! Quite the feat!

An added bonus is that the illustrator, Jayden Ellsworth, included a little bat on each of the spreads -- can you find it??

We're coming to the end of March -- Women's History Month.

My middle-grade book, Spies, Soldiers, Couriers, and Saboteurs: Women of the American Revolution, highlights little-known women who showed immense courage in helping the Patriots defeat the British.

Anna Maria Lane and Deborah Samson both fought on the battlefield. Emily Geiger rode through British occupied territory to carry a message to General Thomas Sumter from General Nathanael Greene. Grace and Rachel Martin, dressed as highwaymen, intercepted a British courier and stole his dispatch.

I'm thrilled to share their stories!

Wrapping up Read Across America Week! I always loved this week -- sharing books with students was always a highlight for me, and I relished seeing them check out books that I had read to them!

I hope you'll end the week by sharing one or two favorite picture books with little ones! Kids love reading with others!

March is Women's History Month. Learn about some amazing women who risked their freedom and their lives to help the Patriots defeat the British.

Sneak with spies and fight on the battlefields as you read the stories of these courageous women.

So happy to announce that my middle-grade book, Spies, Soldiers, Couriers, and Saboteurs: Women of the American Revolution, is now available as an eBook!

Great news for those who prefer to read on their device!
