I so look forward to sharing my love of reading and books with the students at the Xavier Elementary Schools again this year.
I completely love working in my favorite place: the library! Some of my favorite classic children's books are Where the Wild Things Are, Whistle for Willie, and Charlotte's Web. Some of my new favorite writers are Mac Barnett, Jon Klassen, and Kate DiCamillo. If you haven't read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo, you must! Some of my favorite picture book characters are Froggy, Maisy, Francis, Lilly (and her purple, plastic purse), and Corduroy. I can't wait to hear what the students' favorite books are and to help them grow into lifelong readers.
I live in Oshkosh with my husband Mike, and together we have two children: Lily and Will. We also have two dogs: Finn and Rigby. Guess what one of my favorite hobbies is? Yes, it's reading! My all-time favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. My favorite new books are Mary Jane and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.
