I am the author of a professional book for teacher-librarians, classroom teachers, and literacy coaches. The focus of the book is using coteaching approaches to teach reading comprehension strategies. The book includes standards-based sample lesson plans that highlight ways to lower the student-teacher ratio at the point of instruction. The lessons also integrate research-based instructional strategies. Collaborative Strategies for Teaching Reading Comprehension: Maximizing Your Impact is available from ALA Editions (March 2007).

I am also a published children's book author. My second book (written for families), Read to Me/Vamos a leer, is available in both English and Spanish and in hardcover and board book formats from Star Bright Books (January 2004). My first children's picture book, Sing Down the Rain (Kiva Publishing, 1997), is in its third printing. I have two children's books in progress.

I authored and illustrated the Sabino Canyon: The Web of Life Web Site and facilitated the work of preservice educators and graduate students on the Southwest Children's Literature Web Site.

I maintain a poetry page with samples of my own poetry and poems students have written. It also includes poetry resources for educators.

I conduct research on issues related to classroom-library collaboration. My curriculum vitae lists my professional publications.

As an educator, poet, and storyteller - I am always on the trail of new stories...
