My Mission:
GENTLE NUDGES to MAKE BIG CHANGE
My mission is to help make this world a better place. I chose picture books as my tool to spark conversations and action. I want to motivate my readers to be more creative in their thinking, to be braver, to be kinder- not only to those around them, but to themselves.
My Books
Order autographed books from my e-shop page The Dot Central.
My book The Dot has inspired an international annual event - International Dot Day.
My books are also available as animated films through Scholastic/Weston Woods.
My team at FableVision Learning has developed many activities and curriculum programs for using my books within the classroom and in after school programs. Check out Start with a Story, Connect and Thrive Morning Circles, and more!

Community
Community has been central to my mission. Love grows love.
I founded the Dedham Square Circle in 2006 to focus on the heart of Dedham. Today, the organization sponsors events and supports a healthy, safe downtown in our historic New England Dedham MA.
As there was no bookstore in town, I opened one! Called the Blue Bunny after the famous Dedham potter, it houses Mocha Java coffee shop and our wonderful books, gifts and events.
And now we have added TLC Studios to the town!
