For more than twenty years, I have been learning from children. I consider it a privilege to be in a position to touch the minds of the next generation through the power of words.  I have been writing since I was ten years old. I have a degree in English Writing and Literature , and two diplomas from the Institute of Children's Literature.  When I am not reading or writing, I enjoy swimming and spending time with my family.  However, my home away from home is the children's section of any library or bookstore.
