Several of my picture books make great read-aloud choices when preparing young students for Mother’s Day, coming up on May 12. School Library Journal said of My Mother Is Mine, “This book captures the warmth of a mother-child relationship in verse and illustrations…. A welcome addition to Mother's Day collections and family storytimes.”  My title A Mama for Owen is based on the true story of an African hippo baby separated from his mother; Booklist honored the title with a starred review. And my picture book Grandmother’s Song celebrates the roles of both mothers and grandmothers.
