In 2008 my dream came true with the publication of my first book, WOOLBUR. It was written by
Leslie Helakoski and I did the illustrations. WOOLBUR was a 2008 Book Sense Hot Pick, a Great Lake Book Award finalist, and The Gift of Literacy Oregon Book Choice. It was also nominated for state book awards in Vermont, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Nevada, Florida (Honor Book), South Carolina, Nebraska, North Carolina, Arizona, and Washington.
