the author of many books for children. I’ve written books for every age – from board books for toddlers to beginning readers and non-fiction for young adults. I’ve designed pop-up, lift-the-flap, and activity books, and I’ve written about sports, science, and nature for Random House, Simon & Schuster, Scholastic, and Marshall Cavendish.

I’ve also been a journalist for many years, contributing to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Hartford Courant.

Now I contribute to The Times of Israel.
