I am beyond excited to finally announce a little project I’ve been working on with the amazing Valerie Stein and Mark Holtzen: Gather Here, Pacific Northwest History for Young People. We hope to support efforts in the education system to bring more local history into the classroom by telling stories aimed at a third to fifth grade audience. What better way to learn about my new home than through researching local history.
Checkout my nonfiction middle grade story about the Great Fire in Seattle. This one was a lot of fun to put together as someone who is not local. I even got to take a field trip to learn more! You can read more of my writing at Books, Essays, and Stories.
