About the author

I worked as a teacher and in marketing before becoming an author in 1995. My goal was to create the stories I wanted to read as a child. Down East Books published my picture books A Loon Alone, A Cub Explores, A Moose’s Morning, and Lighthouse Seeds. Scholastic Children’s Press published my easy reader, Two Feet Up, Two Feet Down. My stories, poems, and plays for older children have appeared in such magazines as Cricket, Highlights for Children, and Jack and Jill. My first novel is The Pegasus Potential. It’s available through Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Pegasus-Potenti...) and Smashwords.
My latest book is Brigid and the Butter: A Legend about Saint Brigid of Ireland, which was published by Pauline Books and Media.

Reviews

[Paris · Rating 3 out of 5]

I would recommend this book to Pre-K and Kindergarten readers. It has short rhyming words that give directions on how to jumprope. This book can be used as a transition (energizer) to get students moving. There are 51 sight words listed in the back of this book. I shelved this book as multicultural because it is written in Spanish too.

I'm obviously biased, so I'll just describe the book: it's an easy reader that describes how to jump-rope in verse.
