In real life, I don't have chartreuse feathers or scratch around a farm yard, but I do love worms- especially when they're nibbling the kitchen scraps in my compost bin. As a reader, writer, teacher and parent, I am always looking for new ways to go green. I enjoy reading eco-conscious books, exploring local farmer's markets, and working with neighborhood schools to initiate environmental programs. Whether I'm writing picture books, poetry, or articles for children's magazines, I find inspiration from nature and environmental topics. I hope the Little Green Pen helps you discover new ways to read green, write green, and live green as well!
