I write and edit books for children. My main career goal has been to make kids smarter and happier through the magic of reading.

One Pizza To Go!
Read all about it! My first picture book One Pizza to Go! will be published on February 9, 2027—on National Pizza Day! It’s a fun, silly story completely written in rhyme about a pizza that’s tossed up…but never comes back down. I’m hoping kids will love reading it and parents will love reading it to them. And hey, who doesn’t love pizza? Slated for readers ages 4-7.

And if you’ve bought a book because you’re a fan of “weatherman Joe Rao” (my brother!), let me know and I’ll have him sign your bookplate too.
