Biography
Nancy is the author of nine picture books and one YA novel. Her focus as a writer is on using evocative language to create a powerful atmosphere in each book. Her style of writing has been referred to as poetic prose, and her books are often used in the classroom as pattern books for student writers.
She lives in Vancouver, where she divides her time between being a mother of three, a teacher-librarian in an elementary school, and a writer.
Book types: picture books, YA fiction
