Hi! I'm Lizzy, and I write books I hope kids will love. Not shiny new books doomed to lie on shelves, but books with worn pages, and slobber stains, and cracked bindings. Books kids want to read over and over and OVER again.
Though I've always been a writer, my desire to write for kids really began while teaching high school English. Each year I witnessed the life-changing role a good book could play, and the importance of catching readers young. Now I write and teach preschool ESL, where I use picture books every day to inspire future bibliophiles. In fact, if you'd like to check out exactly HOW I use picture books in the ESL class, hop over to my blog, PICTURE BOOKS IN THE ESL CLASSROOM, for some books suggestions and example lessons.
When not typing away at my computer, I spend much of my time snuggling with my kids, or binge-watching TV shows with my husband. I love traveling, crafting, and (of course) reading. I live with my family in Northern Italy.
