Back in 1994, when I first became a runner, I decided to share my joy of running, staying fit, and eating healthy with my school kids. And in the process, the kids showed me the way to make these activities kid-friendly. Through my books, I share this knowledge with you and your children.
ME In 1994, running took hold of me and pushed me outdoors, pulled me along the roads, over bridges, and up and down the hills. I had never before been an athlete and this experience filled me with joy. The runner's high was almost always with me. This alone tells you a lot about me. Funny, the same thing happened in 1974 when I was learning to be a teacher. But back then it was the art of creating materials to help children learn that captured me and has never let me go.  So aside from the the pages of my books that have been made permanent for all to see, I have made lots of everyday school materials which like good breakfasts have nourished children, even the picky eaters, giving them needed instruction. In this way, I am like our millions of teachers who do this daily. In front of me sits a simple page made to teach consonant blends, full of downloaded clipart from the Web. I am filled with excitement when I anticipate my children reading the words and filling in the lines later today.
