​Children's Books
​
In the Polar Universe

the wild night brings
I craft a spaceship of marshmallow wing
store up tons of fish and cake
stars born of a crystal lake
fasten goggles with wipe clean blades
skates that out of swords are made.
​
In the mish mush universe

where sheep meet bog and icicles grow
the day holds more than the things we know
where clouds dance in a barefoot sky
butterflies flirt while passing by
a child like you and me can sup
with beetle foam and buttercup
​
The Snow Follows Me
​
This collection of poems is a celebration of Christmas time, winter joys, family, friends, animals, nature, and play. It speaks for perennial values of kindness, inclusion, compassion and appreciation of the beauty of our natural world.

The Little People
​
Little People like to lull
watch over birdwing bog and well
like to see you laugh and giggle
swim in sand
make round hips wiggle
like to soothe
invent new toys
dig up rusted sunked joys

Emily's Reindeer Christmas


This story set in verse and prose follows Emily and her dog Trixie as they ready their cabin in the woods for the wonder of Christmas and the coming of the reindeer.

The book touches on perennial values of hearth and home, tradition, goodwill, and the wonders of the imagination.
Willy the Winsome Wallaby

      Willy The Winsome Wallaby liked to scratch,
      watch night bugs hatch, sip tea
      float in a lemon river tube
      collect brown eggs, stir maple stew.
      But Willy missed just one thing
​      a friend to share his hearth, his flings.
