" BookBub Featured Selection (2023) "Mrs. Wiggles and the Numbers" is a read-aloud rhyming picture book about counting, math, and inclusivity for children. What inspired you to write this book? I've always enjoyed math and spent over 30 years as a technical writer in STEM industries. Recently, I learned that over 50% of children have math anxiety, which often starts in the early years. I wanted all children to love numbers and math. What are the biggest challenges children face in learning to count? The concept of amounts is visual, but counting aloud is pure memorization. That is why children need a lot of repetition. "Mrs. Wiggles and the Numbers" makes learning entertaining. The children will love the characters and rhyme, which makes memorization easier. How do you see your book fitting into a parent's or teacher's lesson plan? "Mrs. Wiggles and the Numbers" helps visualize the numbers, and the rhyme, colors, and cute characters make the concepts enjoyable. The topic of inclusion and accepting others who don't always "fit in" is important.    What is the next book that you are working on, and when will it be available?  I'm excited the next picture book in the series is a surprise and coming soon!
