I am an author, educator, and visual designer who specializes in writing and producing children’s books for museums, historical sites, and other educational organizations.

By integrating visual and written information about art, design, everyday objects, and history, my books bring to life the culture and social mores of the past and present for children. Read Best of 2004 review.

By collaborating with you to utilize your institution's unique resources and target your specific goals, I am able to create educational and visually appealing books that can yield a wide range of benefits for you, including:

• Increased community awareness of the museum.
  
  
• A useful fund-raising tool.
  
  
• Support for your organization's educational programs.
   
• A wonderful addition for your gift store or bookstore
  
  
• A possible surprise benefit: for example, The Way Pasadena Was, a book I wrote for the Pasadena Museum of History, won an education award from the American Association of Museums (AAM) in June, 2004. Read review. 

To find out how your institution might benefit from our collaboration, please contact me for a consultation.
