Events
I am enjoying visiting schools and spending time with students and teachers. This spring I am traveling to Ohio, New York, New Hampshire, Florida and schools here in Vermont. Spring in Vermont often includes several inches of snow.
Friday, May 11th from 6:30-7:30, I will be at a Pajamarama fundraiser for the Stern Center at the Barnes and Noble in South Burlington, VT.
Wednesday, May 16, I am looking forward to being the Endnote Speaker at the Vermont Library Conference at the Sheraton in Burlington Vermont. I always enjoy speaking to librarians. Because so many of my stories come from my community, sharing my work with fellow Vermonters is especially rewarding. Burlington is a great town, especially in May...the snow should be gone by then! I hope to see you there.

Fall 2006 In my version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s poem THE MOON, a
mom and new baby stay home, while the father and child go on their
own moonlight adventure. It is a quiet celebration of their relationship
and of the magic of the night. To find out more about THE MOON,
including sketches, activities and information about Robert Louis

I continue to be "wowed" when I visit schools. Last fall I was “eye to beak” with a bigger than life-size Bob created by students, parents and teachers at Cape Elizabeth Elementary School in Maine. Imagine taking your favorite character from a book and creating a life-size figure to keep you company! Bob is made out of paper mache with a wire skeleton. His heavy clay feet keep him from flying away. Click on Bob to see what other schools have done with him!
