As both a classroom teacher in the New York City Public School system and Department Coordinator for all of a charter school's English Language Learners' with students of all learning backgrounds, including English language learners, students with learning differences, I was forever and fruitlessly looking for learning materials and children's books to teach to all the vast levels and needs in my classroom.
I began writing children's books for my classrooms, and am now writing and illustrating to help teachers and parents have access to literacy advancing and engaging children's books based on the Science of Reading.
