We’ve all had that favorite toy - the one we take everywhere, and occasionally lose, too. When one little boy loses his favorite ball, his family steps in to help. Where could it be?The Red Ball captures the universal experience of losing (and finding!) something precious. It uses simple language and a familiar scenario to encourage young readers to participate in the search, build problem-solving skills and foster a sense of shared discovery. Perfect for ages 0-3, this story celebrates how empathy, even in small moments, brings us closer together.
I live in Fargo, North Dakota with my wife and two kids (and cat). My children are my greatest joy and the spark behind my stories. Our days are filled with play, laughter, and, of course, books. It felt natural to write stories that would bring us even closer.
My debut, The Red Ball, is a reflection of my family's everyday moments, filled with love and laughter, as well as other human emotions that require processing and support. I aim to create books that invite children to snuggle up with a loved one and share a special reading experience.
As a former elementary educator and tutor, I'm passionate about fostering early literacy. The Red Ball uses sight words and simple sentences to support young readers' language development. My upcoming books, designed for preschool and early elementary students, build upon these skills with more complex language. In all my stories, I weave in opportunities for interaction, emphasizing essential social skills that children will use throughout their lives.
