Joy in childhood

I live in Southwest Michigan with my husband and three fun loving kids. As a family, we love our Up North adventures where we often ride bikes, hike, and play in the water. We do that here at home too. But there's something about going away Up North that increases your creativity. My first book was inspired by the quaint town of Leland, Michigan- Fishtown!  

I hope you enjoy it!

I didn't set out to be a children's book author and illustrator but here I am! I love making up fun stories and funny situations. My kids are often entertained by my ideas and stories. They are where I get most of my ideas from! Growing up, my dad told funny and creative bedtime stories that entertained my sisters and me for years, often including theatrics that made us laugh. My mom is very artistic and encouraged drawing and art. So, I guess combining those together and me being an author/ illustrator makes sense! I love creating fun and playful stories about lighthearted topics that capture the joy of childhood.
