I’ve been a passionate teacher all my life and love to help young people see beyond their immediate world of home, school, and community. That is why I now write books for Middle Grade readers who are intrigued by the way other pre-teens experience their own coming-of-age.
I have traveled to more than 100 countries and am eager to share my cultural experiences and insights with readers with the aim of building bridges of understanding between peoples of different cultures.
The fact that book #1 in the series “Discover Remote Places”, VANUATU; THE FOREIGN EDUCATION OF ABEL, has reached bestseller status on Amazon proves that young readers are fascinated by the different and colorful cultures that make up our world.
The second book in the series is called COMING OF AGE IN SULAWESI, A Tale of Tolerance and Friendship, and the third book in the series (available in 2022) will transport readers to MONGOLIA and give them a taste of what it is like to grow up as a herder in the vast steppes of the Land of Ghengis Khan.
In this world of divisions, let’s dive deeply into a culture very different from our own: firstly, to experience a cultural event not many tourists get to encounter, and secondly, to realize that the fundamental values we live by are universal. These stories may open lines of communication between parents and pre-teens, exploring the cost and value of education, friendship, respect, and courage.
