MY BOOKS

Dear Bookstore (coming March 11, 2025!) is a heartfelt tribute inspired by a song I wrote in 2017 as a love letter to Parnassus Books in Nashville, TN, owned by the legendary Ann Patchett. This special bookstore, filled with dogs, music, community, and love, ignited my creativity and led to this upcoming book, beautifully illustrated by Geneviève Godbout and published by Candlewick Press.

I'm honored to share this journey with you. Here’s the song for you to take a listen... Perhaps write a love letter to YOUR favorite indie bookstore now!

Playalong Songs

INTEGRATING

MUSIC + LITERACY

I enrich literacy experiences by crafting songs inspired by beloved children's books and creating engaging videos, audio, and learning resources. I aim to foster a love for reading and storytelling, highlighting diverse perspectives and narratives.

INCLUSIVE

LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

I aim to cultivate learning environments where every child's identity is respected and celebrated, advocating for expanded gender perspectives and fostering empathy and understanding. As a teacher, I use the title “Mx. Arrow” to model the importance of gender inclusivity.
