For the past forty years, I have been a classroom teacher and university instructor in literacy and drama education. I am an author, a workshop presenter and conference speaker and enjoy sharing my enthusiasms and expertise with teachers, administrators, teacher-librarians and parents throughout Canada, The United States and Asia.

I am well-known for my use of children’s literature to help young people grow as readers, writers and caring citizens of the world. I look forward to offering you my commitment to active, joyful learning and to meeting you online and in person.
