I have written more than 25 books of my own including the YA novel Life as I Knew It (Simon & Schuster. 2006). My essays written with a partner have appeared in the New York Times Book Review, Punch and Spy Magazines. P3, an environmental magazine for kids I created with a partner, won the Giraffe Award and empowered children to speak up on behalf of their home planet. I can often be found at my kitchen table early in the morning editing library books with a pencil. Mostly.
