With a knack for rhyme and a passion for adventure, Kelly brings the excitement of big machines, and teamwork to life in her debut picture book “What Trucks Love to Do: Wreck and Build Construction Crew”. She loves writing playful, rhyming stories that kids, and the adults reading them, can enjoy reading again and again. Designed especially for children ages 2 to 7, her books feature energetic rhymes, colorful illustrations, and plenty of personality.

When she's not crafting captivating stories, Kelly balances her corporate career with family life in Massachusetts, where she draws inspiration from exploring new places, and sharing laughter-filled moments with her husband and their two energetic and creative boys.

What Do I Love?

My new series "What They Love" was designed to take children into the minds of inanimate things, or make believe people, to see the world from their perspective.

I loved writing my first children's book but to be honest, "What Truc Read more of this blog post »
