About Us
I learn and teach others so that they will be enabled to make a positive impact in the world. For the past 2 years I've been writing, illustrating and publishing early chapter books with fun animal adventures, character-building lessons, What If discussion pages, and glossaries to build vocabulary. The Bandana Acres series has 5 books ~ all published in 2018. These books fill the gap between picture books and chapter books which teachers love.
NEW! November 1, 2020 - Emeline-A Journey - Young Adult novel - Christian Historical Fiction Adventure based in 1890.

"Chickadee Words' first children's series is fun, teaches character qualities and features beautiful hand-painted illustrations by the author. Teachers and parents have a lot of opportunities through these books to help children learn how to improve their reading skills while also learning how to handle things like disagreements or making friends.

Yes, I prefer holding an actual book myself and so do most of my audience. I have found print books sell really well at curriculum fairs, library events, school visits, etc. That's where I've had the most success. This year has been horrible for that though. I hope 2021 will be better!
