Thank you for coming by! I welcome you with a poem, inspired by one of my favorite words. Say “petunia” aloud, and enjoy! What are your favorite words?

I write picture books, early readers, children’s nonfiction, poetry, and recently finished my first middle grade novel. You can read about how all this began at a very early age and more on the About Karin page.
My board book My Amazing Day: A Celebration of Wonder and Gratitude won the 2015 BAIPA Book Award for Fiction: Children’s Picture Book. It was also a runner-up in the 2013 ForeWord Book of the Year Award: Picture Book, Early Reader category.
As a children’s book editor, I draw from what I know about what makes stories engaging, how young people read, and how grammar and punctuation support clear writing. I edit children’s books and young adult books of all genres. You can learn about the ways I can help you make your manuscript even more of what you want it to be and reach your audience effectively on my Editing Services page.
My musings on being a grown-up person who still has her sense of wonder are in
my Still in Awe Blog.
