edit data

Although I'm best known for my "Who Pooped?" books, which have sold over 700,000 copies, I have also written a number of technical nonfiction books, focusing on accessibility technology for deaf and hard-of-hearing people — specifically closed captioning and CART reporting.

My current work in process is a Young Adult Fantasy novel. It is complete and being submitted for publication now.

My two latest released books are:

Who Pooped in Central Park? (the 20th book in the Who Pooped in the Park? series) follows four children as they wander through New York City's Central Park, learning about the animals from the poop they've left behind.
