My debut picture book Girls with Guts: The Road to Breaking Barriers and Bashing Records (Charlesbridge, 2019) is the tenacious history of the female athlete from the first Olympic Games to present day, including the passage of Title IX.

Summary: Meet Charles, a big croc who loves chilling on rocks and fishing from the back of his canoe.
