I teamed up with a great illustrator, Samela St. Pierre, to bring an inspiring story of a young girl’s eagerness to connect with new friends in this delightful and unlikely adventure.
I can’t believe my new book is finally available! Maddie and her grandpa discover new experiences and joy around every corner, in their urban neighborhood.
I remember when I was a kid growing up, my father was always ready to take the path less traveled. Now, I look back to how the unexpected surprises growing up brought about such meaningful experiences that carry me to this day. Let me know your special childhood moments!

Hi Susan,
Thank you for your lovely comments. I hope you enjoy the book. It has been a joy writing about a child’s magical day with a grandparent … always very special.
