Say Hi at GF-AF Expo in Worcester!


I will be signing books at the GF-AF (Gluten Free and Allergen Friendly) Expo in Worcester, MA on Saturday July 25, 2015.  Please stop by and say hi!

"A Gluten Free Birthday For Me!" written by the amazing Sue Fliess and illustrated by me, was recognized as one of the best gluten free children's books by the Fifth Annual Gluten-Free Awards.  

Even though the book focuses on children with gluten intolerance, children with other dietary restrictions will be able to relate to the characters in this story.

Here's some more kudos for the book... 

"This bright and colorful picture book sheds light on certain childhood allergies. . .Teachers will find this book to be a great introduction to allergies, to embrace acceptance, and show respect."
